Enter user email address
Select initial product role (Product Admin, Editor, or Viewer)
Step 2: Automatic Subscription Integration

Step 3: Product Access

Product vs Subscription Invitations
#
Product-Level Invitations
:

Product Roles
: Assigned product-specific roles and permissions
Targeted Collaboration
: User collaborates within product context
Automatic Subscription
: Still becomes part of overall subscription
Subscription-Level Invitations

Broader Access

Subscription Roles
: May have subscription-wide roles (like Portfolio Manager)

Important Considerations
#
