A collaborator is a person who has permissions to a project board you own. A collaborator's permissions will default to read access. For more information, see "Permission levels for user-owned project boards."

Inviting collaborators to a user-owned project board

1. Navigate to the project board where you want to add an collaborator. {% data reusables.project-management.click-menu %} {% data reusables.project-management.access-collaboration-settings %} {% data reusables.project-management.collaborator-option %}
2. Under "Search by username, full name or email address", type the collaborator's name, username, or {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} email. {% data reusables.project-management.add-collaborator %}
3. The new collaborator has read permissions by default. Optionally, next to the new collaborator's name, use the drop-down menu and choose a different permission level.
