Manage project sharing and ownership

By default, a project is visible only to its owner and to accounts with the Data Owner role. However, it is possible to share the project with others.

Manage sharing

To manage sharing of a project with others:

1. Go to the Projects page.
2. Locate the project and select it.
3. Select Share project or View collaborators on the right panel. A dialog appears. If the project is not yours and you haven't the permission to share it, you can only view the project's ownership and sharing status.
   Otherwise, you can perform the operation described below. Once you're finished, select Save.

To add shares:

• In the dialog, for each account or group with whom you want to share the project:

  1. Select the account or group from the left drop-down menu.
  2. Select one or more permissions from the right drop-down menu.
  3. Select Add.

To change the permissions for a share:

1. In the dialog, locate the assignee of the share and select the drop-down menu with a gear icon.
2. In the drop-down menu, check and uncheck the permissions as desired.

To delete a share:

1. In the dialog, locate the share in the list and select the drop-down menu with a gear icon.
2. In the drop-down menu, select Remove.

Change owner

To make another account the owner of a project of yours:

1. Go to the Projects page.
2. Locate the project and select it.

3. Select the icon of a pawn with plus sign on the right panel. A dialog appears.
   If the account you want to transfer ownership to is not listed among the users with whom the project is shared:

   1. Select the account from the left drop-down menu.
   2. Select one or more permissions from the right drop-down menu.
   3. Select Add.

4. Select the account from the list of shares and select Set as owner.

   A share is automatically created for you so that you can continue to access accessing the project with full permissions. However, the new owner can remove one or more permissions or delete the share.

   Warning

   You cannot independently regain ownership of the project once you have given it to someone else. If necessary, you will need to contact the new owner and ask him to transfer the ownership back to you.

5. If, at the same time as changing ownership, you also want to abandon the project, locate the row corresponding to your account and select Leave.

6. Select Save.

Info

You cannot give the ownership of a project to a group, only to a user or a service account.

Abandon a project

2. Locate the project and select it.
3. Select the icon of a pawn with plus sign on the right panel. A dialog appears.
