Adding a user to a project gives them access to that project's stories, sprints, defects, and settings. You can control how much access they have — full contributor, team leader, or read-only viewer — and set how many hours per week they're allocated to the project.
You need update permission on the project. Typically this means being the project manager or a Silverile admin. If the Add User button isn't visible on the Members tab, ask your project manager to add the member or grant you access.
The dialog shows all active enterprise users who are not yet members of this project. Users already on the project are excluded automatically.
After closing the dialog, the new member appears in the Members list. Click their row to set their project-specific settings:
| Setting | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Role | No | The user's role within this project. Role options are configured per project type. |
| Allocated Hours / Week | Yes | How many hours per week this person is allocated to the project. |
| Read Only | No | When on, the user can view all project content but cannot create or edit anything. |
| Team Leader | No | Marks this person as a team leader on the project. Cannot be set at the same time as Read Only. |
The user gains access to the project immediately. They can see it in their project switcher and in their My Work list. No email notification is sent — let them know directly that they've been added.
What they can do depends on their access level:
Click any member's row in the Members tab to edit their role, allocated hours, or access level. Changes take effect immediately.
Open the member's row and use the remove option. This removes their access to this project only — their enterprise account and membership on other projects is unaffected.
For larger projects, you can group members into sub-teams using the Teams tab on the project dashboard. Teams help organise work and filter views by group.
I don't see the "Add User" button on the Members tab
Adding members requires update permission on the project. If you don't see the button, ask the project manager or an admin to add the member for you, or to grant you the necessary access.
The user I want to add doesn't appear in the list
The list only shows active enterprise users who are not already on the project. If the person is missing, they may not have a Silverile account yet — an admin needs to create one for them first under Enterprise Settings → Users.
The user I want is in the list but greyed out or has no Add button
They are already a member of this project. Close the dialog and look for them in the current members list.
"Please select either Read Only or Team Leader"
A member cannot be both Read Only and Team Leader at the same time. Choose one or leave both off.
I added the wrong user by mistake
Open the member's row in the Members tab and use the delete/remove option to remove them from the project. This removes their project access only — it does not delete their enterprise account.
