Teams
Shorebird Teams tier and higher allows adding an unlimited number of collaborators to an app. Shorebire free "Hobby" users can upgrade to the Teams tier to add collaborators via a link in the Shorebird console.
Permissions
Permissions are internally stored per-app. Not all permissions are publicly editable at this time, we plan to expose more controls soon. If you would like to make changes to your app in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to contact@shorebird.dev.
Collaborator (aka "Developer")
The Collaborator role can:
- Read app information
- View collaborators
- Create releases and patches
- View insights
Collaborators can be added and removed by any Admin, see below.
Admin (automatically assigned to the account which created the app)
The Admin role can:
- Everything a Developer can do
- Create and Delete Apps
- Add and Remove Collaborator for an App
Admin permissions cannot currently be modified directly. Please email us if you need to add/remove Admins from an app.
Billing account (aka App Owner)
- Billing is tied to Owner
- Owner can be either a Developer or Admin, by default is an Admin
Owner can be changed by contacting us.
Adding a Collaborator
Currently collaborators must be added and removed using the Shorebird command line tool. We intend to add support for adding and removing collaborators via the Shorebird console in the future. https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/1221
To add a collaborator, run:
shorebird collaborators add --email <email>
--app-id is optional if you are in a directory with a Shorebird app it
will infer the app ID from shorebird.yaml. Otherwise you can specify
--app-id <app-id>.
Collaborators must already have created a Shorebird account with the email address you are adding. They can do so by loading the Shorebird console and clicking "Continue with Google".
We intend to add the ability to invite collaborators via email in the future. https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/1221
Removing a Collaborator
To remove a collaborator, run:
shorebird collaborators remove --email <email>
Sharing Multiple Apps
Each app maintains a separate list of collaborators. If you need to share multiple apps with a team, you will need to add each app separately. If this isn't working for you, please let us know and we're happy to look at adding support for sharing groups of apps: https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/739
Transferring Ownership
We do not currently have an automated way to transfer ownership of an app. However you're welcome to contact us and we will be happy to help you transfer ownership of an app.
