Manage Members

Utilities Projects Requires: internet connection

Add and remove a project's online team members, and configure their access role.

Note: The person must already have a Spark account, and you add them by the email they sign in with. If there's no account for that email, the status shows Error Adding Member, Check that Member is a User in Spark. If they're already on the project, it shows Member Already Exists.
Note: No invitation email is sent. Adding a member changes the project on Spark straight away, and the change is recorded in the project's history — see Show History.
