Introduction
Collaboration in Postman involves the interaction of various users and stakeholders. Thus, controlling access to elements of a workspace is essential. Every activity performed in a workspace requires specific permissions granted by roles. According to the action to be performed, users can request a role. Sharing workspaces is another important aspect of collaboration in Postman, where users can share their work with multiple team members.
Requesting Access
Roles and permissions give the admins the power of access control. Users need to submit a request to the owner for access. All requests to access an element are sent as notifications to the owner. Users who want to edit components in the API collection, the environment or the mock server have to Request an editor role access. A lock icon next to the collection's name denotes that a user cannot edit it. To request editor role access:
Step 1: Select Collections from the sidebar.
Step 2: Click on the three dots next to the element name and select Manage roles.
Step 3: Click on Request Access.
Step 4: Enter the user you want to send the request to and choose the editor role.
The request will be sent to the user as an email notification. Once the request is approved, the requester is also notified by email. All requests are valid for 15 days.
