Collaborate easily with external teams

Question 1

Collaborate with external teams

Answer

Connect external partners to your projects and make them an actual part of your team. Assign them to tasks, let them track their times, and collaborate in real-time with everyone involved.

Question 2

Communicate on task level

Answer

Finally say goodbye to emails. With direct and task-based communication, mentions, emoji reactions and notifications, externals and internals alike are all in one place and always up to date.

Question 3

Stay in full control of who sees what

Answer

Set individual permissions for every connection and stay in full control over the visibility of your workspace data. Easily be sure, that everybody only sees what is required for your teams work.

Question 4

Build stronger business relations

Answer

Great communication and involvement builds stronger business relations. This not only increases your project success but also work happiness. 💜

Question 5

How is data protection guaranteed?

Answer

We can guarantee privacy because external users are not connected to the workspace, but really only to the project. There is no possibility for the external user to accidentally see anything from the workspace.

‍

Project users with write permissions at the project level can individually decide for all external users what they can see and do, just like with the rights management of normal users. For this, there are separate project roles for external users.External users cannot edit or delete the shared project and its settings, nor can they invite other users to the project.

‍

You have the option to remove a connection at any time, so that the external user no longer has access to the project. The data that the user has created will also no longer be linked.‍

‍

Benefit: Keep full control over who sees what: Set individual permissions for each connection and keep full control over the visibility of your workspace data. In this way, you can be sure that everyone only sees what is necessary for your team's work.

Question 6

What do connected users see in the other workspaces?

Answer

The invited user can always only see the connected project. The connection is not between the workspace and the external user. It only exits a connection between the user and the connected project.

‍

What he can see or do within the project depends on the project role.

‍

However, external users see tasks and times on their dashboard, filters, etc., from the external project and also receive notifications as long as the connection is active, although this does not belong to their own workspace.

Question 7

What rights do connected users have in other workspaces?

Answer

Can connected users delete projects or tasks?

External users can not edit or delete the project – and especially not the settings nor invite other users to the project.

‍

Can connected users change status?

This depends on their project role you decide for them.

If you invite external users to your project, you can individually set which rights the external user has on the project. If you give the user the right to edit project details, the external user can also change the status of the project

Question 8

Does it cost anything to integrate external users into the workspace?

Answer

You can invite external users, like formerly the guests, without making them part of your workspace. Free of cost.

‍

Invited users that do not own a workspace yet, receive a limited “Basic Connect” plan, that contains all the features of basic but is limited to connected projects. In this plan you can start the collaboration without boundaries, free of cost.

Question 9

Was happens to my guest licenses?

Answer

Guest licenses remain as usual. However, in many cases, it is smart to integrate guests into shared projects as external users using awork Connect. This can create more clarity and save costs. For this, we offer a simple solution to turn guests into external users.
