How do I give my colleague access to Growboard?
Invite a colleague to your Growboard by assigning them the Grower or Administrator role, allowing them to view and manage your Growboard location.
When should I grant someone Grower or Admin access?
If a colleague within your organization needs access to your Growboard, you can add them to your location and assign the role that best matches their responsibilities.
For example:
- Grower: For colleagues who monitor irrigation, review sensor data, and use Growboard as part of their daily cultivation work.
- Administrator: For colleagues who also need to manage users, locations, permissions, or other Growboard settings, such as a head grower or location manager.
If the person only needs to view your Growboard data without making changes, assign them the Guest role instead.
