How to add collaborators to a Firebase app?
On the latest version of Firebase (Announced during Google I/O 2016), how do I add other people to my project or app whom I want to collaborate with? I came across IAM roles through Settings > Permissions. Is this the right way? If I add person there and assign a role, say Editor, will he/she be notified about it through email? Will a request be sent or will they be added directly to that role?
Answer
To give people access to your Firebase project, take these steps:
- Select your project in the new Firebase Console
- In the top left, next to the project name, click the settings/cog wheel icon
- Click Users and Permissions
- Click Add member
- Enter the email address of the user to add and select the appropriate role as per your requirement
- Click the second Add member button
The newly added users will get an email with the subject [Firebase] Invitation to join project and an option to Accept Invite in the body. Be certain to let them know that you added them so that they can accept the invite.
