6.4. Adding Members to a Project

New members can be added to a project by the project’s administrator, the domain administrator of the domain where the project resides or any parent domain, or the CloudStack root administrator. There are two ways to add members in CloudStack, but only one way is enabled at a time:

6.4.1. Sending Project Membership Invitations

Use these steps to add a new member to a project if the invitations feature is enabled in the cloud as described in Section 6.2.1, “Setting Up Invitations”. If the invitations feature is not turned on, use the procedure in Adding Project Members From the UI.
  1. Log in to the CloudStack UI.
  2. In the left navigation, click Projects.
  3. In Select View, choose Projects.
  4. Click the name of the project you want to work with.
  5. Click the Invitations tab.
  6. In Add by, select one of the following:
    1. Account – The invitation will appear in the user’s Invitations tab in the Project View. See Using the Project View.
    2. Email – The invitation will be sent to the user’s email address. Each emailed invitation includes a unique code called a token which the recipient will provide back to CloudStack when accepting the invitation. Email invitations will work only if the global parameters related to the SMTP server have been set. See Section 6.2.1, “Setting Up Invitations”.
  7. Type the user name or email address of the new member you want to add, and click Invite. Type the CloudStack user name if you chose Account in the previous step. If you chose Email, type the email address. You can invite only people who have an account in this cloud within the same domain as the project. However, you can send the invitation to any email address.
  8. To view and manage the invitations you have sent, return to this tab. When an invitation is accepted, the new member will appear in the project’s Accounts tab.
