Why it is useful
Early work shown to the wrong person at the wrong time causes trouble. You decide whether the prototype is open to anyone with the link or only to the people you invite, and whether each of them can look, comment or sign off.
Each prototype has its own list of people. It can be open to anyone who has the link, or need a Crux account you have invited.
Step 1: Open the prototype’s people
In the sidebar, click your prototype under Sources.
Step 2: Require an account
Turn on Requires a Crux account to view. From then on, only people on the list can open the prototype.
Step 3: See what everyone else gets
Anyone who is not signed in gets a sign-in page in place of the prototype, and sees nothing of your work.
Step 4: Give each person a role
Type an email, pick a role and click Invite. A Viewer looks, a Reviewer comments, and an Approver also signs off.
Step 5: See who has access
People lists everyone with access. Change someone’s role from the menu beside their name, or remove them.
Tips
- With the switch off, anyone with the link can look at the prototype. Commenting and approving still need an account you have invited.
- Someone who signs in without access can ask for it. Their request shows under Asked for access, where you choose their role or decline.
- Inviting people needs Starter, Pro or Team. Starter shares a prototype with up to 5 people, and Pro with up to 10.
