Sharing with Teams

This guide walks you through the complete workflow for setting up team collaboration — from creating a group to sharing your first feed.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Create a User Group — organize your team into a named group (how to create a group)
2. Add your team members to the group by email address
3. Create a Custom Feed for your project or topic (how to create a feed)
4. Share the feed with your group and choose the appropriate permission level (how to share a feed)
5. Start collaborating — team members can now access the feed and contribute based on their role

Choosing the right roles

• Poster is the best default for most team members — they can create and manage their own receipts without affecting anyone else's work
• Admin works well for trusted collaborators who help moderate content and manage the feed
• Commenter is ideal for stakeholders who need to provide feedback but shouldn't create receipts
• Lurker suits people who just need to follow along and signal agreement with votes

See Roles and Permissions for the full breakdown of what each role can do.

Tips for effective collaboration

• Share with multiple groups — you can share a single feed with different groups at different permission levels
• Individual overrides — if someone in a group needs different access, set a per-user permission that takes precedence over their group role
• Start tighter, loosen later — it's easier to grant more access than to walk it back
• Use descriptive feed names — when your team works across multiple feeds, clear naming helps everyone find what they need
