In Playlab, workspaces allow you to collaborate with team members on building and managing apps. This guide will walk you through the process of adding members to your workspace, managing their roles, and organizing your team effectively.

Proper Permissions Matter

Assigning the right roles to your team members ensures they have appropriate access to workspace resources. Always double-check that you’re assigning the correct permission level based on each person’s responsibilities.

Adding Members Process

1

Access Workspace Members

Navigate to your workspace members section.

  1. From your workspace dashboard, locate and click the Workspace Members tab
  1. This will show you an overview of current members and their roles
  2. You’ll also see options for managing members
2

Choose Your Invitation Method

Decide how you want to invite new team members.

You have two main options for adding members to your workspace:

  • 1. Copy Team Invite: Generate a shareable link to send to multiple people
  • 2. Add Member: Directly invite specific individuals by email
3

Using the Copy Team Invite Method

Share an invitation link with your team.

  1. Click the Copy Team Invite button in the upper right corner
  2. The system will generate a unique invitation link
  3. Share this link via email, messaging apps, or any communication channel
  4. Recipients can click the link to join your workspace

Remember: Invitation links expire after 7 days. If someone hasn’t used the link by then, you’ll need to generate a new one.

Using the Add Member Method

Invite specific individuals by email.

  1. Click the Add Member button
  2. In the dialog that appears, enter email addresses in the input field

One email per line. If adding multiple members, enter each email address on a separate line.

  1. Select the appropriate role for the new member(s) from the dropdown
  2. Click Invite Member(s) to Workspace to send the invitations
  3. If recipients already have Playlab accounts, they’ll be added immediately
  4. If not, they’ll receive email invitations to create accounts
5

Managing Member Roles

Assign appropriate permission levels.

When adding members, you’ll need to assign them one of the following roles:

  • Owners: Have full access to the entire workspace including managing members
  • Creators: Can create and publish apps, but not manage members
  • Reviewers: Can review usage of apps within the workspace, but not create apps or manage members
  • Explorers: Can use apps privately within the workspace

Choose roles carefully based on each person’s responsibilities in your team.

Managing Existing Members

View and modify your current team.

  1. The Workspace Members section shows all current members
  2. You can see each person’s role at a glance
  3. To change a member’s role, locate the role dropdown next to their name
  4. To remove a member, use the remove option next to their name

Admin Restrictions: Only workspace owners (admins) can add or remove members and change roles.

​
Workspace Collaboration Best Practices

When managing your workspace members, keep these tips in mind:

  • Limit owner roles to those who truly need full administrative access
  • Regularly review member roles to ensure they align with current responsibilities
  • Remove inactive members to maintain workspace security
  • Use descriptive workspace names to help members identify the right workspace
  • Communicate role changes to team members before making adjustments
  • Consider workflow patterns when assigning roles to ensure efficient collaboration
  • Create separate workspaces for distinctly different projects or teams if needed
  • Document your role structure so team members understand permission levels
