You can invite people to Vev on an account, team, or workspace level. Anyone added on a team or workspace level will be considered an external collaborator and won’t appear as a billable user on your account. As such, these are ideal options when you want to work with freelancers, consultants, and agencies in Vev.
Inviting external collaborators to a team
Inviting external collaborators to a team will automatically give them access to all the workspaces within that team. Here’s how it works, step by step.
Select the team To start, make sure you’re in the correct team. Just head to the projects dashboard if you need to switch teams:
Click the overflow menu for the team you’re currently viewing and select Change team
Select the team you want to view (external teams you’ve been invited to will also appear here)
Your selected team will now appear on the left panel
From there, you can invite an external collaborator:
Click your team’s overflow menu
Select Team members from the dropdown menu
Click Invite user
Enter your collaborator’s email address and (optionally) assign them a role from the dropdown list. Leave the Also add users to your account box unchecked.
Note: You will be billed for anyone added at an account level. External collaborators are charged on their own Vev accounts.
Once invited, your external collaborator will receive an email invite, which they need to accept to join your team.
Inviting external collaborators to a workspace
Only want your external collaborator to access projects within one specific workspace? Not a problem. Just head to the projects dashboard:
Click the cogwheel icon next to your workspace followed by the Members tab
Invite as many people as you like to collaborate with you in this workspace
Again, all invited external collaborators will receive an email invite, which they’ll need to accept to join your workspace.
