Multi-user work#

The multi-user work provides opportunities for team collaboration on projects. You and your colleagues can work on the same models, scripts, and datasets, eliminating the confusion of duplicate files and eliminating the need to manually merge versions.

 To use this function you need to:

  1. While in the Projects tab, select the project you want to share by RMB on it;

  2. LMB click on the Share button (see Fig. 1 below);

  3. In the opened window Access to file you need to (see Fig. 2 below):

  • Enter the email of the user with whom you want to share the project;

Note

The user you want to grant access to the project must be registered on the REPEAT VISION platform

  • Select the access level for your file based on table 1:

Table 1

Only the project owner or a user with Full access can share a project.

 After granting access to the selected project, a list of user emails and their access rights to it appears in the file access window, Fig. 3:

 You can also manage the list of users with granted access rights to the project:

  • Delete users, taking away their access to the project, by clicking on the button play to the left of the selected user access type;

Note

  • Only the project owner or a user with full access can remove users from the list;

  • The project owner cannot be excluded from the access list.

  • Change the access type to a project from the list that opens when you click on the line with the specified access rights.

Note

When you click on the button play a window appears (see Fig. 4 below) in which you must select the desired action:

  • Cancel if removing the user from the access list is not required;

  • Delete if you need to confirm the removal of a user from the access list.

 After a user has granted access to a project or has been granted shared access, a shared access icon appears in the project tree next to the name of the user who has granted access to their project/projects, Fig. 5:

Important

To prevent multiple users from accidentally editing the same project simultaneously, the system has a simple and clear rule: only one person can edit a project at a time.

What this looks like in practice:

  1. The user opens a project and begins working – the system “locks” it for others.

  2. If another user tries to access the same project, they will see the message: “The project is being edited by [Your Name], please try again later.”

  3. Once the editor leaves the project, the lock is removed and another user can start editing.
