Add collection contributors
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
The creator of a collection (the Collection Manager) can manage the Confluence users and user groups who can
add snapshots to a collection (collection contributor)
Collection contributers and collection viewers and can both view the collection and the added snapshot documents.
A user can only be given permission to view or contribute to the collection by the user who created collection - the Collection Manager.
Â
Add collection contributors
Collection contributor permissions can be added by the collection manager in the space snapshot publishing dashboard when
creating a new collection using the Add Collection option
