Manage product access

Give a member access to Ideate, to Build, or take it away, and know what a member without access sees. For account admins, with a section for members who need Build access.

Prerequisites

Grant or revoke access

  1. Open the account admin pages and click Members.
  2. Find the member. The Product access column shows two switches, Alis Ideate and Alis Build.
  3. Click the switch you want to change. A dialog opens, titled Grant Alis Ideate access, Revoke Alis Build access and so on, and states what will change.
  4. Click Grant access or Revoke access.

Granting gives the member full access to Ideate or to Build in this account. Revoking removes that access only: the person keeps viewer access to the account and the other access if they hold it.

To change several members at once, tick their checkboxes and use the grant and revoke actions in the bar that appears.

Invite a builder from Build

An account admin can also invite someone to Alis Build from Build, without opening the account admin pages.

  1. In Build, on Activity, click Invite a fellow builder. The Invite a fellow builder dialog opens.
  2. Enter the person's Email and Given name.
  3. Optionally pick one of the accounts you own under Account (optional) to add them to it with Build and Ideate access.
  4. Click Send invitation.

The invitation is emailed in your name. Permissions on products and build environments are managed separately.

What a member sees without access

Ideate
Projects shows only projects shared with them. A card titled Limited Ideate functionality explains that they can only view projects shared with them.
Build
Opening Build shows Alis Build access required with the selected account named. The member can click Request Alis Build access, which sends a request to the account's admins, or Choose another account. While a request waits, the page offers Check access again. An admin of the account sees a button to grant themselves Build access instead.

Request Build access as a member

  1. Click Activity under Build in the navigation pane.
  2. On Alis Build access required, click Request Alis Build access.
  3. Wait for an admin to approve it on Members, then click Check access again.

If a previous request was declined, the button reads Request access again.
