Adding a new user to the organization

If your lab already has a base repo, you can skip all of the configuration steps yourself! Instead, here are a few steps for you and the Smile coordinator of your lab to take in order to add your profile to the organization.

On the user end

1. Github access

Tell the main Smile coordinator for your lab your username so they can add you as a member of the lab's Github organization.

2. Request access to the shared configuration files

You need to get access to the .env files specific to your lab (env/.env.local, env/.env.deploy.local, env/.env.docs.local). These should be stored somewhere in your lab, like a fileserver, Slack channel, or even distributed over email.

Great news!

You only need to do this the first time you try out Smile! Then you will forever be part of the family. For each new project you want to use with this lab, copy the relevant .env files over.

Testing access

For a new user to test if they have the correct permissions to the organization, they should proceed with starting a new project.
