Share projects

In your team, you can use project grouping files and configure permissions for each project individually.

A project has two permission levels: Can edit and Can view. When inviting others to a project, project members can only assign permission levels equal to or lower than their own:

  • Can edit: People with Can edit permission can invite others to join the file with either Can edit or Can view permission.
  • Can view: People with Can view permission can invite others to join the file with Can view permission.

Different permission levels will affect the range of actions a member is authorized to perform.

Unlike the team settings, Motiff supports configuring permissions on a project differently. You can set which permissions team members have on a project and invite non-team members to join the project for collaboration.

Configure permissions on a project

  1. 1.Click Share in the upper right corner of the project page. 'Share.png'
  2. 2.A popup will display team permissions. Click the dropdown arrow on the right to change the permission.

There are four types of permissions for team members on a project:

  • Inherited permissions: Team members have the same permissions on the project as they do on the team. This is the default configuration for a project's permissions for team members.
  • Can edit: Team members can edit the project.
  • Can view: Team members can view the project.
  • No permission: Team members cannot access the project. This is suitable for projects that require small-scale collaboration or are confidential. For example: A few team members who build and maintain design systems of the team.

Invite members individually

  1. 1.Enter the name or email address.
  2. 2.Click the dropdown arrow on the right to select permission.
  3. 3.Click Send invite to add the user to the project.
  4. 4.You can view the members who have joined the project in the member list below and adjust their permissions at any time.

Tip: Search by name only works for users who have collaborated on other resources.

If you invite a team member to a project individually, Motiff will follow the permissions you set when inviting this person, regardless of the project's permission configuration for all team members. For example: If the project's permission configuration for all team members is Can view , and a member is individually invited with Can edit permissions, the actual permission for that member on the project will be Can edit .

View shared projects

For members who have been individually invited to a project and have not joined the team, they need to view these projects in Shared projects. 'Shared Projects.png'
