This page describes how to collaborate with other users on AutoLit or Synthesis. In general we recommend granting Organizational access, as it simplifies access management across large groups of people. Access may be granted to individual users for smaller projects or for one-time access.
Collaboration is not available to free tier users; any organization or user added to your nest must have a license.
Adding an Organization to a Nest in the Settings page automatically gives User-level access to that Nest to all members of the Organization.
See the Organization Management page.
See the Add Organizations section.
See the Organizational Ownership section.
Only Owners and Admins have access to the Admin tab, where users are managed.
From the AutoLit page, click on the Nest you would like to add the user to.
Hover over the Nest Menu and select “Settings” (see red box below).
Click the “Invite User” button, which will open a modal:
Once the modal opens, type in the full email address of the User you want to invite:
From the drop-down, give the invited user privileges to access:
When completed, select “Invite User” (upper right) to generate an invite email.
Once added, the user's email will be added to the Pending Invites list; if they already have a Nested Knowledge account, their email will have a check mark next to it.
In order to confirm access privileges, the user will have to:
Until the user has responded, they will be listed on the modal as a Pending User; you can check this to see whether your invite was accepted.
Once a User has accepted privileges, they will show up in the Collaborators list!
To adjust the role of a user after they have been added to the nest, use the Collaborators page. Using the blue dropdown arrows in the Role column, you can choose to make the person an Admin.
If you are the Owner of a nest, you can identify a different collaborator as Owner, but this will irrevocably revert you to an Admin!
Admins can perform any function in the Admin tab:
The only settings Admins cannot alter are Deleting a Nest, which is reserved for only the Owner, and assigning Nest Ownership, which is similarly reserved for the Owner.
Users can perform any Nest function (that is, any function in a Nest that is not housed on the Admin Settings page). Users cannot access this page, and cannot use any of the functions described in this page below or more generally in Settings.
