Inviting your team
geoDB is built for teams — loggers at the core shack, a database manager, consultants, investors peeking at a dataroom. Access is by invitation, and what each person can do is set by their role.
Sending an invite
From the company page, enter an email address, pick a role, and send. New people get an email link to create their account; existing geoDB users get the company added to their switcher. You can scope someone to the whole company or to specific projects only.
Roles, in plain terms
- Owner / manager — run the company: billing, members, everything below.
- Admin — full data control on their projects: create, edit, delete, configure.
- Contributor — can add records and edit the records they created — right for loggers and field crews; they can't alter anyone else's data.
- Viewer — read-only. Right for investors, JV partners and reviewers.
What an invited person sees
Only what they're given: the companies and projects on their invite, and nothing else. A viewer sees the same dashboard, maps and data pages you do — minus every edit button. If you're the one who was invited and you're reading this: the guide's collaborator path (on the guide home page) walks you through your first look around.
Contractors
Drilling contractors deserve a narrower window — there's a dedicated contractor role in drill program monitoring that shows a contractor only their own rigs and shift reports. That's covered in the Running your program topic.
