Guest collaborators

A guest collaborator is someone without tool access who has been added to a project. They work on that project's schemes with the role they were given, and nothing else.

Add a guest #

Add them like anyone else: on the project's page, under People, type the email on their account, pick a role, and click Add. See People and roles.

They need an ArchOverflow account. Accounts are free, and every account can read the library. When the person you add has no tool access, the page says they'll work in the project as a guest collaborator.

What a guest can do #

• See the project in their projects list, with a Shared tag.
• Open its schemes in each tool and, as an editor, change and save them.
• Take snapshots and share links, as their role allows.
• Upload images into a project they edit, like a picture in a Pinup deck. Those count toward the project owner's storage.

What a guest can't do #

• Start projects of their own.
• Use the tools for anything outside the projects they're on. Outside those, the tools open as a locked sample.

Guests and firms #

Guests aren't firm members and don't take a seat. In a firm project, some work stays inside the firm: a Bullpen staffing plan, for example, is never shown to guests.

If a guest wants their own tools #

They can ask from their account page. See Ask for tool access.
