Contributors
So far it's just been you. But keeping a catalogue current is usually a team effort — someone adds new films, someone fixes a plot. A contributor lets you share that work without handing over your whole account.
What a contributor is
A contributor is another Search Stack account you grant access to one of your lists. They can help keep that list's records and fields up to date, but they can't touch the rest of your account — other lists, billing, or the list's very structure stay yours alone.
Invite someone
Open the movies list, choose Options, then Add Contributor, and enter their Search Stack account name.
That's it — they can now open that list and start helping. You can remove them again at any time from the same place.
Who can do what
An owner has full control; a contributor can maintain the data but not reshape or remove the list:
| Action | Owner | Contributor |
|---|---|---|
| Add, edit and delete records | Yes | Yes |
| Add a field | Yes | Yes |
| Rename or remove a field | Yes | No |
| Add or remove contributors | Yes | No |
| Delete the list | Yes | No |
A typical setup
On the movie-night site, you own the movies list but the release changes weekly. You add your merchandising colleague as a contributor: each week they add the new releases and touch up plots and posters, while the list's shape — and everything else in your account — stays under your control.
It's the difference between "help me keep this current" and "here are my keys".
Last thing before you launch: moving off the shared practice servers onto capacity that's yours.
