Project collaboration

How sharing works in SoundBase: roles, per-site permissions, inviting people by email, and what your invitees experience.

SoundBase is built for simultaneous editing: any number of people can work in the same project, presence shows who’s where, edits appear instantly for everyone, and a built-in chat keeps the conversation next to the work.

Roles

Role	Can
Owner	Everything, including managing admins — the project’s creator
Admin	Edit everywhere, share the project, force-unlock sites
Editor	Edit the sites they’re granted
Viewer	Look, but not touch
Deny	No access to that site

Permissions are per site: one person can be Editor on the site they’re coordinating and Viewer (or Deny) everywhere else. A Viewer who needs more can click Request Editor Access in the sharing dialog.

Invite someone

1. Open the sharing dialog from the project bar and type an email address under Add collaborators.
2. SoundBase checks the address as you type:
   • an existing SoundBase user is added immediately (optionally with a notification email),
   • a new address gets an invitation email to create an account.
3. New invitees appear under a Pending badge until they sign up; the project attaches itself automatically the first time they sign in — there’s no accept/decline step. Remove a pending invite anytime.

By default a new collaborator gets Editor on the current site and no access to the others — open their row to adjust per-site permissions, use the bulk actions (Set as Editor/Viewer/Deny on all sites), or Set as Admin.

Note

• Invitees need only a free SoundBase account — collaboration doesn’t require a paid plan.
• SoundBase Desktop can only re-add people you’ve shared with before — invite someone new from the browser version.
• Collaborators can leave a site or the whole project themselves; owners and admins can remove anyone.

Working together safely

• Site lock — hold the lock while you calculate so nobody changes the RF environment under you: Locking a site.
• Group locks — freeze finished groups against recalculation: Locking groups.
• Real-time reports — for people who only need to see (or fill in one column), share a live link instead of project access: Site reports.

Full step-by-step sharing management is in Sharing and collaborating; removing people across projects is covered in Removing collaborators.
