Collaboration and documentation in Document360 often require contributions from various personnel such as writers, reviewers, subject matter experts, and editors. You can streamline this process by adding new team accounts with specific roles and permissions.

With Document360, you can add new team accounts with specific roles and permissions at any point in your subscription.

NOTE

By default, only Owner and Admin can add new team accounts to the project.

    • After entering details and selecting roles, review the information and click the New Team Account button to add the specified users to your team account.

  4. Users will receive an invitation email once a team account is added. Once the email is verified, users can set their password and log in to the Knowledge base site.
