Assembla's Space Team tool allows project managers to add members to the team and control user permissions to collaborate with other project teams. In other words, the Team tool is primarily used to:
Add new team members.
Promote or demote user permissions of team members.
Invite other teams to collaborate with your projects.
How can I invite a new team member in my space who does not have an account with Assembla?
Go to Space Team, and then use the Add team members area to add the missing member. Upon clicking INVITE, the user is added to your space team, and also receives an email alert to accept the invitation.
When the user accepts the invitation via the email alert, they are taken to the sign-up page to create an Assembla account. After signing up, the user is taken to the Assembla Start page where they can see the space to which they are invited.
How can I invite people from other teams?
Go to Space Team, and then click Invite people from other teams. Check the box for each user you want to add, and then click Invite selected at the bottom of the page. Those user are added to your space team and also receive an email alert to accept the invitation.
What happens when I invite someone to the team?
When you create a space, you can invite new team members via the Space Team tool. Assembla sends them an invitation email message with your name on it. If they do not click through and register, they receive a reminder after four days, and another reminder after seven days. They can decline the invitation and area removed from the space, or they are automatically removed after 14 days without a response.
How can I view the profile of a team member?
Only users with Owner permissions can view the profile of a team member. Simply click on the team member. This will open a popup with a link to the user's profile. Click on the profile link to view the team member's profile.
How can I give other teams access to my space?
You can give access to other teams from your portfolio via the Share link on the Space Team tool of the space. The Share link is only available if the space is under a portfolio. Go to Space Team > Share.
Use this page to give other teams access to your space. Type the name of the space to which you want to give access, and then click Search. Click on the green plus icon of the project name from the resulting list.
Select the permission type, and then click Add.
The permission is saved and the project name appears in the list of teams that have shared access.
You can also edit the permissions of the team. Permission types include:
Controlled (Owner, Member, or Watcher). Every person in the team receives the specific role that you choose. For example, Watcher is ideal to share your project with customers or partner groups.
Delegated. This type carries over the roles each user has in the delegated project (owner, member, watcher). This is convenient if you are setting up sub-projects that have the same team and management structure as a top space.
Note: For performance reasons, this is currently limited to only one level of sharing.
How can I remove shared access from another team in my space?
Click the red minus icon next to the space name to removed shared association with your space.
