A collaborator is a person whom you have invited into one of your Procorem WorkCenters. Collaborators have the ability to see all the information on the WorkCenter, but can be provided customized security settings to control how they interact with the information stored on the WorkCenter.

Typical rights of collaborators include the ability to read posts, upload documents, add posts, download files, and complete assigned tasks. To learn more about Collaborator security, review the Security, Permissions and Guests section. You can also set configurable security roles for each collaborator.

If a collaborator no longer needs access to the WorkCenter, he or she can be removed by the owner.

When you’re in a WorkCenter, click Add Collaborator on the right side of the page.

Once clicked, you’ll see the Add Collaborators screen. Now you can invite new users to the WorkCenter, both those who currently use Procorem and those who do not.

All posts and comments are recorded in Procorem for later reference and are fully integrated with each user’s email system to ensure everyone stays on the same page.

When you post a message, upload or download a file, assign a task, or do anything in Procorem, the only people who can see it are those who are invited into your WorkCenter.

To learn more about security check out our Security, Permissions, and Guests section.
