Dabble is designed to be a collaborative system. Unless you are paying for a single user account plan, your applications and data can be shared among users.

It is up to the administrator of a Database to invite other users to use a particular application. Your database can support as many users as is permitted by your account plan.

Users that the administrator invites can be granted four distinct levels of access on an application-by-application basis:

• Read, write and build allows users full capabilities to view and edit data and the structure of the application, including adding and deleting Fields, Entries and Categories.

• Read and write allows users to edit data, but they cannot alter the structure of the application by changing categories or fields.

• Read only allows users only to see existing data but not to edit it or add new data. They can create and edit different Views to see data in different ways without being able to change the data itself.

• Pages access only allows users to access only specified Pages that you build. They cannot otherwise access the application.

You can also grant full administrative access to another user, giving them the same privileges as the original account holder. Administrators automatically have full access to all applications in a database and to edit the admin settings.

Use the Sharing preferences for each application to invite users at one of the three levels of access shown above. If you wish to give a user access to more than one application, you must do so for each application individually. You can also use the sharing page to change the level of access a user has for any application at any time.

When you first send an invitation to someone, the system will send the person an email that includes their temporary password to access the database. If for some reason this email does not arrive (for example if it’s caught in a spam filter), you can reset the password.

To add a new administrator, use the admin settings and click on the Admin Users tab.

Each account plan specifies a limit on how many users may access the applications in the database. This is a global limit, so it includes all users of all applications. (However, one user cannot be counted twice.)

If you are near the limit of users permitted by your account plan, you can upgrade your account, or remove old users to make room for new ones. To do so, simply sure that you remove each old user from all applications to which they were granted access. Once a user is completely removed, he or she will no longer be counted towards the total. You can remove users from all applications at once on the Account plans screen.

Use the Sharing preferences to remove users from only a particular application.
