Invite people to a single project

To show a specific project to someone without adding them to the space, invite them at the project level.

  1. Click Share at the top right of the project
  2. In the Members tab, click Invite under "Project members" and choose members

Invited members can access only that project. They don't get access to other spaces or projects. For visibility settings and publishing apps, see Publish and share your app.

Per-project roles (Team plan and above)

On the Team plan and above, you can manage roles (Creator / Viewer) per project. For example, someone can be a Creator in the organization but view-only on a particular project.

  1. Click Share at the top right of the project, then in the Members tab click the pencil icon next to the member. Edit project role & access opens
  2. Under Access Level, turn on Set as Viewer for this project and click Save changes

The "Edit project role & access" dialog, with the "Set as Viewer for this project" toggle under "Access Level", the "Project roles" field, and the "Save changes" button

Members whose organization role is Viewer are Viewers on every project. To make them a Creator on a project, change their organization role. → Members and roles

Project roles

In the same Edit project role & access dialog, Project roles lets you give each member roles as free-form strings. To give several roles, separate them with commas. Project roles are separate from organization roles. Use them to change what data each user sees or what they can do inside a dashboard.

For controlling a dashboard with project roles, see Access control.
