# Understanding collaborators

# 👥 Understanding Team Collaboration in WC Studio

Collaboration in WC Studio is built for teams — whether you're working with developers, designers, marketers, or clients. You can securely invite collaborators, assign roles, and manage permissions without giving away full admin access.

***

## 📍 Go to: WC Studio → Collaborators

***

## 🧠 What Is Team Collaboration?

Team Collaboration allows you to:

* ✅ Invite team members or clients to specific stores
* ✅ Assign roles with limited or full access
* ✅ Monitor collaborator activity
* ✅ Delegate tasks like development, content, or management safely

***

## 🧾 Who Can You Invite?

Anyone with an email address can be added as a collaborator. Common use cases:

* 👨‍💻 Developers (manage plugins, themes, WP config)
* 🎨 Designers (customize appearance, upload assets)
* 📈 Marketers (access analytics, reports, content)
* 🤝 Clients (review store status without edit access)

***

## 🔐 Permission Levels

| Role          | Access Level                                                 |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Admin**     | Full access to everything: files, settings, billing, backups |
| **Manager**   | Can manage store content, settings, themes, plugins          |
| **Developer** | Limited to technical settings: WP config, file manager, logs |
| **Viewer**    | Read-only access to store dashboard and analytics            |

You can assign roles when inviting a user or update them later.

***

## 🤝 Use Cases

* ✅ Developers build in Staging while clients preview in Live
* ✅ Agencies share billing view with clients, but limit admin access
* ✅ Teams divide roles: devs, content creators, marketers — all in sync
