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.

  1. Type the username or the email address of an existing Platform user, or the ID of an org whose members you want to add to the project.

  1. In the Access pulldown, choose the type of access the user or org will have to the project.

  1. If you don't want the user to receive an email notification on being added to the project, click the Email Notification to "Off."

  2. Click the Add User button.

  3. Repeat Steps 2-5, for each user you want to add to the project.

  4. 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.

2. Find the row showing the user you want to remove from the project.

3. Move your mouse over that row, then click the Remove from Members button at the right end of the row.
