pROcUREdOG

Owners (and other stakeholders)

Introduction

An owner (including any other stakeholder) is a user having obtained the reserved right to oversee all aspects of the project as if he were the Manager, however without the ability to add or make any changes to the data ("look but do not touch"). The project manager grants you the right by including your email in the list of owners. The manager uses the Owner feature to provide transparent access to parties with an interest in the project.

This procedure covers the essentials for participating in a project as an owner and assumes that the manager has designated you as such. There are but a few significant steps, the rest are progress and one-time-only confirmations.

Your email must be a Google account username. You may use Google accounts you already have or create a new one: Create a Google account. Google only requires: first name, last name and date of birth. You choose a username and password.
