Manage project access

Manage repo collaborators: add, remove, and leave repositories

Add people to your project

You have a project set up, and want to add your team members? Here’s how:

1. Open the repo's menu and select 'Repo Collaborators'

   You can do this from either the local workspace or the remote repo. Both work.

   

   If you don’t have a repo yet, create one first.

2. Enter the email

   Also choose the access level you want to grant. Admins can invite other members.

   
3. Click `Invite`

That’s it! Your team members will receive invitation emails to join the project. If they don’t have Diversion installed yet, they’ll be prompted to do so. They can accept the invitation and start working with you. If they need any help, send them here.

Remove people from your project

1. Open the repo's menu and select 'Repo Collaborators'

   You can do this from either the local workspace or the remote repo. Both work.

   
2. Select the member you wish to remove

   Click on the user’s permission level and select Delete.

   

   Only repo owners and admins can remove members. The repo owner cannot be removed.

3. Confirm the removal

   Review and confirm your action.

FAQs

Why am I receiving notifications about exceeding my user limit when my repository has fewer users?

If you’re seeing notifications like this:

Even after removing excess users from all your repositories, check your organization members. The excess users may still be part of your organization and need to be removed there as well. See removing users from your organization for detailed instructions.
