Sharing a Project

You can share a project using individual Email ID. Once you share a project, the recipient(s) are automatically notified by the system via an email which includes link to access Project data along with auto-generated account details.
While Sharing a project, you have full control in deciding what information can the recipient see and how he or she can interact with the data. This is done by use of Permission Groups which are applied at the time of sharing itself. Refer to the article on "Creating and Managing Permission Groups" for more information on what configurations you can set. You can give various rights to the recipients when you share the project.
You can also edit the permission group that has been applied even after the project has been shared.

Creating Sharing Permission Groups from the Settings 

You can create the project sharing permission groups from the settings option on the top right besides the activity stream option. 

In this option you can select the appropriate option and create the permission group. You can also save your selection using the Save As option. 

Replicate Sharing setup of one user with a new user

Now, using the sharing and collaborations option you can directly share all existing shared projects within your team with the new member, ensuring they have immediate access to relevant information and resources. This helps save time since you no longer must share the projects one by one with a new team member.
