Invite users and manage their access

Note

This documentation is relevant to the new IBM Quantum® Platform. If you need the previous version, return to the IBM Quantum Platform Classic documentation.

Before you begin

Create your account's instances before you invite users. For every instance you create through IBM Quantum Platform, an associated access group is automatically generated. When you invite users to an instance, you can assign them to a specific instance's access group as part of the invitation process.

Invite users to your organization's account

Users with IBM Cloud accounts

If a user has a previously existing IBM Cloud account, follow the instructions in the Manage IBM Cloud users section.

First, ensure you have the correct account and region selected in the account and region switchers in the header.
Select Access management from the main menu.
On the Users tab, click "Invite user".
Enter the users' email addresses and optionally assign the invited users to access groups.
The user will receive an invitation to create an IBM Cloud account and join the instance. After they accept the invitation, they will see a new account in their account switcher at the top of the IBM Quantum Platform page.

To change a user's access groups, go to Access management from the main menu. Click the overflow menu at the end of the user's row and select Manage access . On the modal that opens, select the access groups the user should belong to.

To remove a user from an instance, go to Access management from the main menu. Click the overflow menu at the end of the user's row, and select Delete . You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

Note

If a user is removed from an instance, their workloads and the associated results are no longer visible to them. Other users in the same instance can still access the workload data and results.
