Collaborators in Quixy are users with specific permissions granted by workspace or organizational admins to manage artifacts within their branch. These collaborators have the ability to create, edit, and delete artifacts within that branch, but they cannot deploy the artifact to the next stage or environment. This addition to the platform is designed to facilitate collaborative development and streamline work management, giving collaborators a focused set of permissions compared to the actual branch admins.
Admins can easily add or remove collaborators as needed for a project. They can add any workspace admin as a collaborator. Once added, collaborators can access the branch.
Benefits of Collaborators in Quixy:
- Collaborators can contribute to the workflow by managing artifacts without needing full administrative access.
- Administrators can grant selective access to collaborators, ensuring data security and controlled development processes.
- By distributing tasks among collaborators, development speed can be increased, leading to faster project completion.
To add collaborators, the organization must upgrade to the Advanced Sandbox version. The admin must be the branch owner, and there must be at least one branch created.
