Dear users,

as a beginner I try to understand the concepts behind Qfield.

I have created as user “A” a project in the QFieldCloud. In the setting I have set that project to “public”.

Another user “B” finds that project in the community section of the QFieldCloud-projects. The user “B” can download and open that project on his mobile device.

But: Is it possible, that this user “B” can digitize/create new features in that project? It does not seem so (as fas as I see) if the user is “anonym”, is that right? The QfieldCloud-projectmanager has to set the user “B” as a collaborator with editor-rights, correct? Does a function exist in Qfield, with that user “B” can automatically ask for editing rights or is a “manually way” by email necessary?

Thank you very much, Kai
