The Share dialog lets you add individuals, groups, or whole organizations as Owners, Editors, or Users on a single app. Access is per-app — if you give someone Editor on App A, they don’t get access to your other apps. Publishing has its own button and dialog; see Publishing.

How to share an app

Open Share from the app card or builder

On an app card, open the card menu (⋮) and choose Share app. In the builder, click Share in the top right, next to Publish.

Share from the app card.

The top bar of the Playlab app builder for Algebra Tutor, with Build, Design, and Sessions tabs in the middle and the Publish and Share buttons in the top right.

Share from inside the builder.

Search for a user, group, or organization

Type a name, email, group, or org name. Matches appear as you type, drawn from the organizations you belong to. You can add an individual, a group (like a class or cohort), or a whole organization, one at a time.

Choose a role

Pick Owner, Editor, or User from the role menu next to the search field. User appears once the app is published, and Owner only if you can manage owners.

Click Invite

Click Invite. Playlab doesn’t notify recipients, so let them know. Editors and Owners are listed under Collaborators, people with the User role under Users. To change someone’s role or revoke access later, open the role menu next to their name and pick a new role or Remove access.

Permission levels

Owner

Full control. Edit, publish, share, archive, and add or remove other Owners. Use for co-builders who need the same authority you have.

Editor

Can edit and publish. Edit instructions, references, starter inputs, model settings, and welcome message. Publish, unpublish, and share as Editor or User. Cannot add Owners or archive the app. Use for collaborators who help build and refine.

User

Use only. Use the app once it’s published. Cannot edit it, open Share, or see its Sessions tab. Use for people who only need to use the app.
For sharing patterns by audience, see Sharing with individuals or Sharing with groups and orgs.

Key points

  • Share apps with individuals, groups, or whole organizations from one dialog
  • Three permission levels: Owner (manage), Editor (edit), User (use)
  • Sharing is per-app, separate from space membership
  • Publishing has its own Publish button, next to Share

FAQ

Yes. Add as many Editors as you need. Each one has the same edit rights.
Space membership still controls the space’s Sessions tab and access to apps added to the space as a whole. App sharing is the right tool when you want to grant access to one specific app.
You can add them only if they also belong to one of your organizations. The search in Share only finds people who share an organization with you, and Playlab doesn’t send invites to anyone else.
Their access is removed automatically when they’re removed from the org. The app stays with you.
Partly. In the builder, click the History (clock) icon at the top right to open Prompt History, which lists each version with who made it. Comparing versions shows changes to the instructions only, not to other settings.
Yes, but the last save wins on the same field. For close collaboration, agree on who owns which section before editing together.
