### Invite a user into your organisation

This is a good option if you want to give the user full and equal access to your organisation and data associated with it. See more detail here: <https://help.tahua.io/organisation-management>
{% endstep %}

### Invite a user or organisation to be a direct collaborator on a funding application

This is a good option if you just want to give access to a collaborator to a particular funding application.

To do this navigate to your All Applications area and then find the application you want to add a collaborator to.

![Applications list](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/7oJA1Gj1UaVnrzEhnPOn/image%20png%20Nov%2021%202023%2009%2035%2042%203655%20PM.png)

From the dropdown on the right of the application row there is a Manage Collaborators button or if you View the Application there is also a Manage Collaborators button within that area.

![Manage collaborators button](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/vQQGYkUIV2lPd31qpn2k/image%20png%20Nov%2021%202023%2009%2037%2016%208161%20PM.png)

Click on that button to bring up the Manage Collaborators pop up where you can search for Applicants to add as Collaborators.

![Manage collaborators popup](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/IOg7K2iP28CNvSyWfMkj/image%20png%20Nov%2021%202023%2009%2038%2015%205040%20PM.png)

Select the Applicant(s) you want then click Update to confirm the selection. From this point the collaborator will receive a notification in their portal and from there be able to access the Application.

If at any point you want to remove a collaborator you can come back to this popup and remove their selection and press Update again.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Collaborators cannot add other collaborators — only the owner of the Application can manage collaborators.
{% endhint %}
