Learn the key differences between collaborators and their access levels to help facilitate efficient collaboration.
Not everyone has the same collaboration needs inside MURAL. To help facilitate efficient collaboration among collaborators, we have different user types: admins, members, guests, and visitors.
Here's how it's broken down:
Administrators manage the workspace. They have full access and control and can create, modify and edit all of the workspace settings.
Members are core team members or facilitators that have full collaboration access. Members can:
Guests are external stakeholders, partners and clients outside of your company's domain. If you are on a MURAL Plus or Enterprise plan, then you can invite guests to collaborate without them using a license. Guests are able to:
As projects come to a close and new projects get going, your core collaborators might change, too. Learn how admins can switch a user from guest to member.
Here's how workspace admins can switch a user from guest to member:
Hi, I'm Daniela. Collaboration can have many different forms, and this is why in MURAL We have three different types of collaborators. First, we have our members. Members are people within your company domain, and they can own and access as much content as was assigned by the company admin.
Next, we have guests. Guests are people outside of your company domain that can also collaborate with you in your murals. Their capabilities are a little bit more limited, though they cannot duplicate your murals or export them. They cannot invite other people to collaborate, and they can certainly not manage your content.
Finally, we have visitors, and visitors are people that you invite for one time only. You send them a link. They don't have to sign in, and they will come in as visiting animals so they will come in anonymously. They will be prompted to add their names, but that's optional.
So this is best for one time events, maybe for research participants or workshop participants. And after you're done with all of your commitments, you can always choose to reset those links to revoke the access as well. So knowing what type of collaborator you need for each particular mural will allow you to collaborate better.
