Add access
To share allocations, you need to give access to the intended recipients:
-
Navigate to the main Allocations screen.
-
Locate the allocations of interest.
-
To share an individual allocation, select the three dots menu (⋮) at the rightmost end of the allocation entry, and then select Share allocation.
-
To share multiple allocations, select the checkbox of each allocation entry, and then select Edit permissions.
-
-
In the sharing configurations window, enter the email of the intended recipients and give them Viewer or Editor access.
-
Select Add to apply the changes.
Change permissions
You can change permissions on an allocation from the same configuration window, including:
-
Change the permission of an individual user to Viewer or Editor, or remove the access.
-
Change the permission of the whole organization to Viewer or Editor.
Transfer ownership
To transfer the ownership of an allocation to another user:
-
Make sure the intended user already has the Editor permission.
-
In the Access drop-down list, select Make owner.
Note that:
-
An allocation can have only one owner and the owner must be an individual user.
-
Once the ownership is transferred, the previous owner becomes an Editor.
