Different levels of access to MURAL

MURAL structures content into three different levels: workspace, rooms, and murals. Depending on your project and permissions, you want to ensure you’re giving the right permissions and invitations to your collaborators. Let’s start at the mural level.

Invite collaborators to a mural

When you want collaborators to join a specific mural, there are two ways you can invite them to join you: email and link. Sending an email invitation will allow your collaborators to reference the mural from the workspace. The links provide a quick and convenient way to invite collaborators in real time to join your mural.

Which link do I use?

There are two links in a mural to invite collaborators. The invite people link is great for collaborators with a MURAL account. If you want to be able to see who is contributing content to the workspace, the invite people link invites your collaborators to sign into MURAL.

The visitor link allows collaborators to join a mural without an account. Use the visitor link to invite collaborators without signing into MURAL. The collaborator can identify themselves by name and with an animal avatar. However, keep in mind that your collaborator’s avatar won’t remain beyond the session.

Invite collaborators via email

  1. Click the pink share button at the top right of the mural. This opens a menu for invitation options.
  2. Decide whether you want your collaborators to edit the mural or view the mural.
  3. Enter the email address of the collaborator you want to invite. You can also import a list of collaborators by uploading a CSV list of email addresses.
  4. If you want to add a message, click the add a custom message checkbox. Type in your message below.
  5. Click Send to send the invitation. Your collaborator will get an email invitation to join the mural.

Invite collaborators via link

Invite members and guest to the mural:

  1. Click share at the top right of the mural. This opens a menu for invitations.
  2. Under the invite people tab, copy the link for the mural. 
  3. Share the link with your collaborators. When they click the link, they will be prompted to sign into MURAL.

To invite visitors to a mural:

  1. Click share in the upper right of your mural. Toggle to the Visitors tab.
  2. If it hasn’t been generated already, generate a share link in the 2nd tab. (Only a mural owner can do this.)
  3. Select Edit or View-only permissions from the drop-down menu.
  4. Share the link with your collaborators. When they join the mural, they will be prompted to join as a visitor or have the option to sign in if they have a MURAL account.

Invite collaborators to a room

You can also invite collaborators to an entire room so they can see all related murals related to a project. The invitation structure is similar to invitations to a mural, but there are no visitor links. Here’s how:

  1. Open the room you want to share.
  2. Click share at the top right of the room. You can invite via email or copy the link to share with anyone.

Invite collaborators to a workspace

If you have admin permissions in your workspace, you can invite collaborators to the entire workspace from the MURAL dashboard. Here’s how:

  1. On your MURAL dashboard, click invite on the top right corner
  2. You can either type someone's email, and even include a custom message. Alternatively, you can create a share link and send this to your collaborators.

Hello there, I'm Hailey Temple. The magic of MURAL starts when you invite others to work with you. So, let me show you how to do this in a mural at a room level. And if you have the right permissions, you can do it at a workspace level. 

Let's start with a mural. So I want to invite someone in to work with me. So I'm going to click this big pink share button. Now, I have a couple of options. If I want somebody to sign in, so I know who they are when they're working with me in the mural, then I'm going to use this invite people tab. 

I can invite someone via email address or with a link. I'll make sure I have the right permissions so they can collaborate with me in this mural, so I'll send them an email and send an invitation, I can even add a custom message. And off we go. Now, I don't want somebody to have to sign in, just come in and start working with me, no worries about signing in, then the visitor link is ideal. So, if I copy this link and share it with anyone, then they will be able to join me and depending on my permissions start working with me. So, that's how you invite people into a mural. From a room and workspace level depending on your permissions in that mural, it's fairly similar.

So here, I can invite somebody into this room by very similar clicking the share button and inviting somebody with a link and I need to create a link or with an email At the workspace level, if you're an administrator, then you can invite people in at the workspace level. I'll go up to the workspace name, click this down arrow. And now I can click invite people to the workspace. Very similar, you can create a link and invite someone that way or send it by email. 

If you want to revoke access for a group of people or an individual, you can always delete that link and you can be rest assured your work is safe. So that's how you invite people to collaborate with you in MURAL.
