Add Collaborators

As a workspace owner, you can give collaborators access to help you manage the workspace. Both UW NetID and ProtectNetwork ID users can be collaborators on your workspace.

Collaborators can add, edit, and delete both views and content in the workspace, and modify participant access and availability. They can work with hidden content, and access the workspace when it is not available to participants. Access to individual Catalyst tools is determined by role settings in the tool itself.

You can add collaborators to your workspace in two ways: adding a group of collaborators, or assigning a participant the role of collaborator.

Add a Group of Collaborators to Your Workspace

To give collaborators access to your workspace, follow these steps:

1. From the Catalyst account page, click the name of the CommonView workspace with which you want to work. You will ove to the workspace.
2. Click Access & Roles in the global navigation in the upper right corner of the page. You will move to the "Access & Roles" page.
3. Click Edit to the right of "Administrator access." A list of your groups will appear.
4. Select an existing group that contains your collaborators, or click Create a new group. Follow these instructions to create a new group.
5. When finished, click Save or click Cancel to discard your changes. You will return to the Access & Roles page, and will see your collaborators listed with the role of Administrator.

Assign Participants the Role of Administrator

You can also assign participants the role of administrator in your workspace. Follow these steps:

1. From the Catalyst account page, click the name of the CommonView workspace with which you want to work.
2. Click Access & Roles in the global navigation in the upper right corner of the page. You will move to the "Access & Roles" page, which displays the list of participants.
3. Find the participant on the list whose role you want to modify.
4. Select "administrator" from the "Role" drop-down menu. You might need to wait a moment while the role is assigned and the page refreshed with the new role listed for the participant.
5. When you are done assigning roles, click the workspace name in the breadcrumbing to exit Access & Roles, and return to the workspace.
