Inviting Collaborators

For someone to collaborate with you on the document, they have to have access to it within Alfresco.

This means:

1. they have to have a user logon in Alfresco

2. they have to have appropriate permissions to edit the document

You use the Alfresco interface to accomplish this. The process for giving the user permission to access the document will also send them an invite to collaborate on it.

New User Wizard

You only need to do this if the user doesn't exist already. Internal users within your organisation are likely to exist already. External collaborators will probably need to be created.

Logged in as administrator, use the Alfresco New User Wizard to create your new user.

Give them permission

Navigate to the document, and click on it. You will see:

Then click More Actions > Manage Space Users

Press "Invite". For each user you want, select "Collaborator" from the role drop down, then press "Add to list".

Once you have added all the invitees to the list, press "Next"; the wizard will now send the users an email.
