How to Add Collaborators to a Data Plane
Introduction
The Data Plane collaboration feature allows you to manage and facilitate collaboration on the Data Plane for which you are an owner or admin. The owner and admins of the Data Plane can invite other users to collaborate/create projects on the Data Plane. The invited users can create and manage projects on the Data Plane based on their assigned role. This feature enables users to invite, accept, reject, and remove collaborators for multi-team collaboration.
How to get started with Data Plane collaboration
Inviting a collaborator
To invite a user to your Data Plane, you need to open the
Data Plane Management Dashboard. The dashboard will show all available
Data Planes. Select the Data Plane for which you have the owner or admin role. Click Invite Collaborator. Enter the email
address of the user you want to invite, select their role (admin or viewer), and click Send Invites. The invited user will receive an email with an
invitation link.
Accepting or rejecting an invitation
The invited user can accept or reject the invitation by clicking on the invitation link received in the email or going
to the Data Plane Management Dashboard. The dashboard will show all
the invites received by the user. The user can accept or reject the invitation by clicking Accept or Decline.
Removing a collaborator
You can remove any Data Plane collaborator by going to the
Data Plane Management Dashboard. Select the Data Plane for which you
have the owner or admin role, you'll be able to see all the collaborators of the Data Plane. Click Remove to remove the
collaborator.
Data Plane collaboration permissions
There are three roles available for Data Plane collaboration:
owner: The owner of the Data Plane has full access to the Data Plane and can invite or remove collaborators, and manage private endpoints.admin: The admin of the Data Plane can create projects, manage them, invite or remove other collaborators, and manage private endpoints.viewer: The viewer of the Data Plane has read-only access to the Data Plane and its projects.
The member role is deprecated and can no longer be assigned to new collaborators. Existing collaborators with the member role will retain their permissions, which allow them to create and manage projects on the Data Plane. However, members are not allowed to manage collaborators or private endpoints.
