  • Admin: read/write access to all resources, ability to delete the project and manage team members.
  • Developer: read/write access to applications, jobs, environment groups, cluster data, and integrations.
  • Viewer: read access to applications, jobs, environment groups, and cluster data.

Adding Collaborators

To add a new collaborator to a Porter project, you must be logged in with an Admin role. As an admin, you will see a Settings tab in the sidebar. Navigate to Settings and input the email of the user you would like to add. This will generate an invitation link for the user, which expires in 24 hours. The user will get an email to join the Porter project, but if the email is not delivered, you can copy the invite link and send it to them directly.

If the user does not have a Porter account, they will be asked to register. After registering, if they are not automatically added to the project, the user should click the invite link again.
