<h1>Projects and Teams</h1>
|
|
<p>Use Projects to organize checks in your SITE_NAME account. Your account initially
|
|
has a single default project. You can create additional projects and transfer
|
|
your checks between them as your usage grows.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p>Checks and integrations are project-scoped: each check and each configured
|
|
integration always belongs to a particular project. Checks can be transferred
|
|
between projects. The transfer operation preserves check's ping address:</p>

<h2>Team Access</h2>
|
|
<p>You can grant your colleagues access to a project by inviting them into
|
|
the project's team. Each project has its separate team so you can grant access
|
|
selectively. Inviting team members is <strong>more convenient and more
|
|
secure</strong> than sharing a password to a single account.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p>The user who created the project is listed as <strong>Owner</strong>. When you invite an user
|
|
to the project, you can select one of the three roles for their membership:
|
|
<strong>Team Member</strong> (what you usually want), <strong>Manager</strong> or <strong>Read-only</strong>.</p>
|
|
<p>Team Members can:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>create, edit and remove checks</li>
|
|
<li>create and remove integrations</li>
|
|
<li>rename the project</li>
|
|
<li>view and regenerate project's API keys</li>
|
|
<li>give up their membership
|
|
(from their <a href="../../accounts/profile/">Account Settings</a> page)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Team Members can not:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>invite new members into the project</li>
|
|
<li>change project's owner</li>
|
|
<li>manage project owner's billing settings</li>
|
|
<li>remove the project</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Managers</strong> have the same permissions as Team Members, with one exception:
|
|
Managers can invite new members and remove existing members from the project's team.
|
|
Managers still can not change or remove project's owner, or manage billing.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Read-only</strong> members can:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>view checks, including check details and ping logs</li>
|
|
<li>view integrations</li>
|
|
<li>give up their membership</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Read-only members can not modify checks, integrations, or project settings.
|
|
They also cannot access the project's API keys as that would effectively give them
|
|
read-write access through API.</p>
|
|
<h2>Projects and Check Limits</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Check Limit</strong> is the total number of checks your account can have. The specific
|
|
limit depends on the account's billing plan. When you reach the Check Limit
|
|
you will not be able to create new checks.</p>
|
|
<p>All projects owned by your account shares your account's Check Limit.
|
|
For example, consider a Business account with two projects,
|
|
"Project A" and "Project B." If A has 70 checks, then B cannot have more than
|
|
30 checks in order to not exceed the Business account's total limit of 100.</p>
|
|
<p>However, only checks from your own projects count towards your account's
|
|
quota. If you get invited to somebody else's project, that does not change
|
|
the number of checks you can create in your projects.</p>
|
|
<h2>Projects and Team Size Limits</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Team Size</strong> is the number of <em>unique</em> users you can invite to your projects.
|
|
Same as with Check Limit, all projects share your account's Team Size limit.
|
|
However, if you invite the same user (using the same email address) into multiple
|
|
projects, it only takes up a single seat.</p>
|
|
<h2>Projects and Monthly Reports</h2>
|
|
<p>SITE_NAME sends periodic email reports with a summary of checks
|
|
from <strong>all your projects</strong>. The reports contain status summaries for
|
|
both the projects you own and the projects you are a member of.</p>
|
|
<p>You can configure the frequency of the reports (monthly, on the 1st of every month,
|
|
or weekly, on Mondays) or turn them off altogether in
|
|
<a href="../../accounts/profile/notifications/">Account Settings › Email Reports</a>.</p>
