Giving an external collaborator access

To provide an external collaborator access to your project, you will need to:

• Invite them to a Teams channel with their email address
• Invite them to a SharePoint seite with their email address.

This will make them known to our systems and allow them to be added to REDCap.

You will then need to email ServiceLine to request their email address is added to REDCap. If your external partner changes their email address during the project, you will need to repeat this process.
