Adding users to Watson Discovery on IBM Software Hub

After you install and provision a Watson Discovery instance, you can share the URL for the product user interface with other people. However, those users can log in to the product user interface only if you give them access.

Before you can give someone access to a Watson Discovery instance, the person must have access to use IBM Software Hub itself. For more information, see Managing access to the platform.
