  • Step 4: Once the workspace is created, select ‘Manage access’, then ‘Add people or groups’.
  • Step 5: Type the name of the colleagues you would like to grant permissions to this workspace. Remember, this will use their nhs.net account.

Once you have added all colleagues and assigned the correct permissions, select ‘Add’.
