Please see this 60-second video on how to assign and unassign yourself Airtable editing privileges. The whole process takes 30 seconds to go in either direction (adding permissions or removing permissions).
You will need to log in to hx’s personal account. I will share password with you separately, and you can have your browser save it so that you don’t have to remember it for the future.
A few VERY IMPORTANT points:
- Remember that each editing seat costs $20/user/month. (Actually, we are currently using monthly billing, so it’s $24/user/month.) Each seat is prorated daily, so this is 80¢/day/user. But this really adds up, especially with how many people will be hopping on to contribute here and there.
- If there are 2 or more days that you do not plan to make edits to Airtable, please go in hx’s account to deactivate your own access. You can still view everything after you deactivate yourself, you just can’t make edits when you are view-only. But, view-only seats are FREE, and again are prorated daily.
- Please do not make any edits with hx’s account. Instead, assign yourself editing privileges, then log out of my account, and then log in to your own account to make the edits. This is very important for tracking changes and version control. It is very helpful to see who had made what edits so that we know who to ask if there are issues. If everything just shows “edited by Phil,” even when Phil did not make the edits, then we completely lose this functionality.
