Once you have created a project share it with other users so that they can use the project or contribute to it.

Making projects available to community users

When the project is shared with the community, users can launch the workspace of the project to see its contents, can request access to contribute to the project, can suggest changes to the name, description and tags of the project, and can start a discussion on the project.

  2. Once you are ready to share the project with community users, go to the Settings tab of the project. In the Access and ownership section, in the Visibility settings, click the Share with community.

Sharing project with organizations and organization members

You can create a project in an organization and not share it with any members of the project till it is all set and ready for use. Once you are ready that members of the project share it with all of the organization or selective members.

To share a project with organizations and organization members:

  1. Create a project and do not share with anyone.

  2. When you are ready for the rest of the org to use the project, go to the Settings tab of the project. In the Access and Ownership section, do one of the following:

    1. In the Manage access settings, click the Grant access to all members button to invite everyone in an organization to access the project. Sharing the project with all of the organization ensures that as new members get added to the organization, they automatically get access to the project.

    2. Click the Grant access button, to give access to only selective members of the organization. or to give special permissions to certain members of the organization. For example, you could set all of the organization to be able to view the project, but you may want to give only handful of members the ability to edit the project. You can also invite members of the community to access your project.
