# Adding Users to a Project

You can collaborate on the DNAnexus Platform by giving project access to other users. Project access can be revoked at any time by a project administrator.

## Adding Project Members

Once you've created a project, you can add members by doing the following:

1. From the project's Manage screen, click the Share Project button - the "two people" icon - in the top right corner of the project page.

5. &#x20;Click the Add User button.
6. Repeat Steps 2-5, for each user you want to add to the project.
7. Click Done when you're finished adding members.

## Removing Project Members

To remove a user or org from a project to which you have ADMINISTER access:

1\. On the project's Manage screen, click the Share Project button - the "two people" icon - in the top right corner of the page. A modal window will open, showing a list of project members.
