Collaborators

You can invite collaborators to your organization and assign them to different projects.

Manage collaborators using the control panel

Invite new collaborators

You create new collaborators by inviting them via email. Start by clicking on Collaborators in the organization's settings at the bottom of the left-hand side menu. Then click the green Invite button in the upper-right corner.

Enter the collaborator's email address in the provided field and click Send.

Accept an invite

Without a prior Glesys Cloud account

The collaborator will receive an invitation via email. Note that the person must accept the invitation before becoming a member of the organization.

When the collaborator clicks the invitation link in the email, they will be prompted to log in to their Glesys Cloud account. If the collaborator does not already have an account, they have to create one first using the same email address to which the invite was sent. Creating a Glesys Cloud account is free.

After the collaborator has created an account and logged in, they'll find the invite by clicking on the profile picture, then Invites. This will display a list of all pending invites.

Now the collaborator clicks Accept to accept the invite and become a member of the organization.

Permissions for collaborators

When a collaborator is created, they have no permissions in the organization. Permissions are assigned to collaborators for each project within the organization. Alternatively, a collaborator can be given the role of Owner instead of Collaborator. As an Owner, they gain access to the entire organization and can modify all settings, including billing settings and inviting other collaborators.

To assign permissions to a collaborator, go to Collaborators in the organization menu (at the bottom of the left-hand side menu). Then click on the collaborator you want to assign permissions to.

In the example below, the user named Colleague has the role of Collaborator and full permissions for the project Lab1. This means they can create, modify, and delete all types of resources within the Lab1 project. However, they have no permissions for the Lab2 project.

Delete a collaborator

To delete a collaborator, go to Collaborators in the organization menu and select the collaborator you want to delete. Then, click Actions and choose Delete.
