Collaboration

App collaboration allows multiple team members to build, test, and manage apps together in the Developer Portal.

• You must have a Canva Teams or Canva Enterprise plan. See Canva plans⁠(opens in a new tab or window).
• Users must join your Canva team before you can add them as app collaborators. Team admins or owners can invite users from Canva team settings⁠(opens in a new tab or window).
• You must be an app owner or manager to add, remove, and edit collaborators.

1. Navigate to your app in the Developer Portal⁠(opens in a new tab or window).
2. Select the Collaborators tab.
3. Select Add collaborators.
4. Choose the team members you want to add. You can only add collaborators from within your Canva team.

When you add a collaborator, they immediately gain access. They will see the app listed in their Developer Portal⁠(opens in a new tab or window).

There are 3 collaborator roles, listed from lowest to highest privilege:

You must be an app owner or manager to change roles or remove collaborators.

• There's a maximum of 49 collaborators per app.
• Collaborators don't have access to the JSD support ticket created when submitting an app for review.
• If a team's Canva Teams or Enterprise subscription expires, the app reverts to a single-user app, where only the owner can access it. When the subscription is renewed, all collaborators regain access.
