Inviting people to a collaborative folder

If you are the Owner of a shared folder or the Manager of a team folder, you can invite other people to join the folder. When a person accepts a shared or team folder invitation, the folder appears in their HCP Anywhere just as it does in your own.

When inviting a person to a folder, you assign that person a member role (Viewer, Collaborator, or Manager). A person's member role determines the operations they can perform in the folder.

Procedure

  1. In the row of a collaborative folder, click the overflow icon.
  2. In the menu, click Manage shared folder.
  3. In the search bar, enter the name of a person or group that you want to invite to the folder. Then press Enter.
  4. For each person and group you want to invite:
    1. Optionally, select a role in the Role dropdown
    2. Click Add user for each user you want to invite and Add group for each group you want to invite to the shared folder.

      When you invite a group to a collaborative folder, you set the member role for the entire group. However, the member role of a person who is already part of the collaborative does not change.

Result

When you invite a group to a collaborative folder, HCP Anywhere manages the group membership for you. When a person is added to the group, that person is automatically invited to all the collaborative folders the group is a part of. Similarly, if a person is deleted from a group, that person is automatically removed from all the collaborative folders the group is a part of.

Next steps

Once a group is part of a collaborative folder, you can:
  • Change the roles of people in the group
  • Remove people in the group from a collaborative folder
  • Stop HCP Anywhere from tracking the group
