What is teaming in Kubera?

So, you've signed up for Kubera, and you're wondering if you should share your credentials with the rest of the team. We've got you covered! With Kubera's Teaming feature, you can invite your teammates and assign them roles. Your teammates can log in with their own unique credentials and get to work on the same project.

The number of members that can be added to the project depends on your Kubera subscription plan.

Invite members to your project

The number of members that you can invite to your project depends on your subscription plan. A single user can be a part of multiple projects. To invite a user, log in to Kubera and go to Users and Roles.

This displays all the users who have access to the project, pending invites(invites that have been sent and have not yet been approved), and details of each user connected to the project. To send an invite, click on Invite user and fill in the email ID and role that the user has to be assigned (The assigned roles can be edited afterward).

Note: Invitations can also be sent to users who are not using Kubera. On accepting the invitation, the invitee will be taken through steps for registering with Kubera.

Accepting an invitation

1. For an existing Kubera user:

Click on your profile. This opens a drop-down menu displaying Invites as one of the options.

Clicking on Invites redirects to a page that displays all the pending invites that you have received. Now, the invitation can either be accepted or rejected as per requirement.

2. For users not Signed Up to Kubera:
In such cases, the user will receive an email, which contains a link. Using this link, one can join Kubera. Joining Kubera using an invite adds you to the project and also creates a default project.

You can switch between your projects from the drop-down menu, as shown below.

You will notice there is another project added by default named DemoDock. This is a demo project added to your account by default to understand the capabilities of Kubera. To know more about this project, click here.
