Add Project Users
Only Project Owners and Editors can add users to a Project. There are two kinds of users that you can add to your Project.
Company Users: This is where you invite and manage people within your company who have the same company email domain as the Company Account Owner. Anyone you add to the Project must already have a Layer account. Learn how to add new users to your Company here >
Collaborators: This is where you invite and manage people outside of your company. The Collaborator role can be for paid license users and free collaborators.
View our Project Roles & Permissions article for more information about the functionality that each role can perform.
To add a user, simply type in their email, assign them a role, then hit the “+” sign.
If the user does not have a Layer account, they will receive an invitation to create a Layer account via email. Once they are logged into Layer, the Project will appear under “Invites” on their Project Dashboard.
If the user does have a Layer account, they will receive an invitation to join your Project. The Project will appear under “Invites” on their Project Dashboard.
Edit Project Team
To change a user’s role, simply select the new role from the dropdown and Layer will automatically change permissions for that user. They will not receive a notification of this change.
