Sharing projects

Siter allows project owners to share projects with other users through share tokens. A share token is a short code that you send to colleagues, who then use it to request access to your project. You review and approve or reject each request, controlling who can see your data and at what permission level.

Prerequisites​

  • You must have the ProjectAdmin role on the project to manage sharing
  • Users requesting access must have a Siter account
