Assigning or unassigning notebook collaborators

Assign one or more users to a single notebook to collaborate on that notebook service. You can also unassign users from the notebook when collaboration is no longer required.

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator, consumer administrator, or data scientist to assign or unassign notebook collaborators.

About this task

You can assign one or more users as collaborators for a notebook from the cluster management console. When you are assigned as a collaborator for a notebook, you are able to create, edit, and delete notebook files at the same time as other assigned notebook collaborators, and view the changes that are made to notebook files by other collaborators.
