Add a Collaborator (Third-Party Admin) to your Application

This guide covers how to add a collaborator to an application. The collaborator feature is designed to be used by a third-party administrator, such as a grant writer and artist manager, who works on applications on behalf of their client. A collaborator will only be able to see applications they are invited to and can be added or deleted at any time.

Enter the collaborators first name

**Important:** The email address used to invite a collaborator **cannot already be associated with a Individual or Organizational Grant Seeker (Applicant) account** in the system. Collaborator invitations can only be sent to an email address that is linked to, or will be used to create, a **Third-Party Administrator** account. If the collaborator already has a Grant Seeker account, you must either: - Use a different email address for the invitation, or - Contact **gms@creativesask.ca** to request an account conversion (with the account holder's consent). Please confirm the correct email address with your collaborator before sending the invitation.

The collaborator will receive an email invitation they can either accept or decline. If declined, they will not be added to the application. If accepted, they will be added as a contact with the role "Third-Party Administrator". They will then have access to edit and submit the application and, if approved, the final report as well.

If you want to remove a collaborator from an application(s), you must contact us to do so at [gms@creativesask.ca](https://mailto:gms@creativesask.ca)
