Hello guys

Assume there is a github repository with a connected Appveyor project.

How to make a collaborator of this github project be able to configure Appveyor project as well as owner can?

There is a "Permission" tab with a "Administrator", "User" roles, which looks pretty unclear to me. Who is "User"? Is it a every random person observing this particular project? Also I don't see any way of adding project Administrators or Users. How to do that?

Thanks for your time!

   Hi Dmitry,

   Both Administrator and User are built-in roles. You should add a new user and assign him a role, presumably Administrator if you want to give him owner permissions.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   I can't see any "Add new user" button anywhere. My current plan is Trial

   It's on https://ci.appveyor.com/team page.

   The weird this is that adding a team member means adding a member to the account not the project? Is there any way I can restrict them to only one of the projects on my account?

   That's also possible. You can define a custom Role, add created user to that role and then apply permissions for specific project on its settings page. Basically, you should deny viewing of all projects except one.

   Let me know if you have any questions.

   I had to admit that it was very difficult to find these options in Appveyor.

   We've added a new guide here: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup

   Let me know if something else could be added there.

   There is no https://ci.appveyor.com/team link at this page: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup
   It tells about the principles, but give no information where to click.

   I had to google this thread to actually get there.

   Fair enough, thanks for pointing that out! I've just added a short intro on that page: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup#introduction

    This will work, but the problem I see is that I have to go through each project and deny access to this role because the default behavior is inherit. I assume I have to do that every time I add a new project.

    Following the principle of least access, I'd like new roles to be denied access by default rather than inherit. That way I don't inadvertently give access to something I didn't expect to. Perhaps make that a role setting if you don't want to disrupt the existing flow too much.
