How to manage access to a private project

Permission: Owner or Manager

Manually add members or whole teams to your private project — or revoke access for those who no longer need it.

When you create a project with “Invite-only” sharing, you have to add members or teams manually before they can see it.

  1. Open the project.
  2. From the project options dropdown, pick “Project Members & Teams”.
  3. The access page opens with two main sections: “Teams” and “Project Members”, and shows the total member count at the top.

Managing teams

The “Teams” section has two panels: “Project Teams” on the right shows currently linked teams, and “Add Team” on the left shows teams available to attach.

  • To attach a whole team in one click, press the + button next to the team's name in the “Add Team” panel — every member gets access at once.
  • To remove a team, press the remove button next to its name in the “Project Teams” panel.
  • You can also jump to the teams settings via the “Manage Teams” link at the top of the section.

Managing project members

The “Project Members” section also has two panels: “On the Project” on the right shows current members, and “Add Member” on the left lets you search and add new ones.

  • Each member shows their access type: “Direct” for manually added members, or “Auto access” for the owner and members from linked teams.
  • To add a member, type their name in the “Search team members” field, then click their name to add them directly.
  • To remove a member, press the × next to their name in the “On the Project” panel. (Members with auto access can't be removed here — remove the linked team instead.)

Tip: If a single team works across several projects, add the team — not each member individually.
