LinearB has released a new unified User Management interface that streamlines how admins view, manage, and edit users and teams. This migration consolidates several settings into one simplified experience.
What's Changing
The new UI introduces the following major updates:
Feature | Previous UI (Before Migration) | New UI (After Migration) |
Navigation | Separate Users tab under Settings | Users tab removed — now found under Users & Teams |
Tab Name | People & Teams | Renamed to Users & Teams |
User List | Displayed in the Contributors table | Table renamed to Users |
Filtering | Filter users by Git Connection and In Team | Use the Status Line and new Billable Users filter |
User Invitation | Add via Invite User button | Add directly with the new Add User workflow |
User Merge | Manual merge via user profile | Unified Merge Account option (now supports merging platform users) |
Billable Seats | Previously listed under plan usage (limited visibility) | Will be listed via Billable Users filter (see note below) |
Key Differences Explained
Unified Access: People & Teams
All user management is now centralized under Settings > People & Teams.
You no longer manage users separately from teams. All contributors, integrations, and seats now appear in the unified Users table.
Updated User List
The previous Contributors table has been renamed Users, and now includes the following:
- Role-based permissions (e.g., Viewer, Admin)
- Git and PM connections
- Team membership status
- Merge and profile edit options (⋮ menu)
Adding a User
Previously, admins invited users via an Invite User flow.
Now, simply click Add User in the top right corner.
To add a new user:
- Go to Settings > Users & Teams > Users.
- Click Add User.
- Fill in the user’s full name, email, and role.
- Define the user’s team scope and membership.
- Click Save and Close.
Merging Users
The Merge Account feature is now integrated directly into the user list.
You can merge duplicate or platform-linked users without leaving the page.
To merge users:
- Click the ⋮ menu next to the user.
- Select Merge Account.
- Choose the secondary (duplicate) account.
- Confirm to merge.
Filtering and Status Line
The previous filtering options (Git Connection + In Team) have been replaced with a modern Status Line and Billable Users filter.
Now:
- Quickly identify Billable and Non-billable users.
- Filter by Status to view active, inactive, or hidden users.
Viewing Billable Seats (Coming Soon / Limited Rollout)
Billable user visibility is moving from the old plan usage view into the new unified user table.
You’ll soon be able to:
- Filter to see only billable users
- Export user lists for seat audits
- Identify inactive accounts still consuming seats
Summary of Tasks — Before vs After Migration
Task | Previous UI | New UI |
Add/Invite User | Invite User | Add User |
Merge Users | Profile > Merge | User List > ⋮ > Merge Account |
View Billable Seats | Limited (separate billing view) | Billable Users Filter (rolling out) |
Filter Users | Git + Team filters | Status Line + Billable Filter |
