Invite Developers and Internal Builders without assigning a project

July 20, 2026

You can now invite a Developer or Internal Builder to your team without assigning them to an existing project.

Previously, the UI required every new Developer or Internal Builder to be given access to at least one existing project before you could add them. That got in the way of a common workflow: bringing someone on specifically to spin up new work, without handing them the keys to projects they don’t need to touch.

Because both roles can create their own projects directly, this is often exactly what teams want. Invite a new teammate, let them start building right away, and keep your existing projects untouched. When they create a project, they’re automatically assigned the Developer role on it, so they own the work they start without gaining access to everything else.

The result is cleaner, least-privilege onboarding: people get exactly the access they need to begin, and nothing more.

To try it, head to your team’s Members page and invite a Developer or Internal Builder without selecting any existing projects. Learn more about managing project access in our project access docs.
