Project collaborators

Collaborators are the people that you add to the project to work together. After you create a project, add collaborators to share knowledge and resources freely, shift workloads flexibly, and help one another complete jobs.

Required permissions
To manage collaborators, you must have the Permanent Admin or the Admin role in the project.

Users with the Administrator role at the platform level who have the Manage projects permission can join any project and add collaborators to any project.

Add collaborators

You can invite only users who have an existing Cloud Pak for Data account. If you need to add a collaborator who does not have an account, ask your Cloud Pak for Data administrator to add that user.

You can add a user group as a collaborator. All members of the user group have the same role in the project.

Watch this video to see how to add collaborators and grant them access to your projects. The video begins on the watsonx home screen, in the Projects section. The user opens the Transportation Data Analysis project to explore collaboration features.

This video provides a visual method to learn the concepts and tasks in this documentation.

Tip: Add at least one other user as a project administrator to help ensure that someone is able to manage the project if you are unavailable.

To add collaborators to your project:

  1. From your project, click the Access Control tab, and then click Add collaborators or Add user groups.
  2. Add the collaborators who you want to have the same access level:
    • Type email addresses into the Find users field.
    • Copy multiple email addresses, separated by commas, and paste them into the Find users field.
  3. Choose the role for the collaborators and click Add:
    • Viewer: View the project.
    • Editor: Control project assets.
    • Admin: Control project assets, collaborators, and settings.
  4. Add more collaborators with the same or different access levels.
  5. Click Add.

The invited users are added to your project immediately.
