What is teaming in Director?
This feature allows multiple director users to work on the same project. This feature has been developed keeping in mind the team-oriented development activities. This brings in the ability to manage the operations that other users can perform on the project(s). The Director page contains Users and Roles option to manage users in a project. Also, a user can be part of multiple projects. To switch between different projects, the drop-down near the project section can be used (encircled in the image).

How to invite people to join a project?
In Director OnPrem by default maximum of 10 members can be added to a project. This functionality is configurable. You can update the number in values.yaml.maxMemberCountInOneProject: 10There are some numbers which have pre-defined values
- 0: Any number of users can be added
- 1: Setting the value to 1 disables teaming feature, i.e no members can be added to the project.
For Director Online this is fixed at 5 and is not configurable.
Clicking on Manage projects under the Project drop-down menu, redirects you to a page that displays a list of all the projects that you are a part of. If you haven't used the teaming feature earlier, it will contain only one project which was created as default project while registering with Director.
Clicking on Users and Roles displays users of the project, pending invites(invites that have been sent and have not yet been approved) and details of each of the users connected to the project.
To send an invite, click on Invite user as shown in the image given below.
Invitations can also be sent to users who are not using Director. On accepting the invitation, the invitee will be taken through steps for registering with Director.
Clicking on Invite User, opens up a pop-up where you need to specify the following details:
- Email: Add the email of the user, to whom the invite is to be sent.
- Role: The role of the user can be specified at the time of sending invite and also can be edited afterwards. ( Detailed information about each role is given above)
Then, click on send invite.
To verify, the status of invite, click on Project admin panel on the left hand side, the landing page displays the pending invites.
