Base collaboration

In NocoDB, a member added to a workspace inherits their role-based permissions across all bases within that workspace. If you need to override a member’s permissions for a specific base, follow the steps below:

Update members role in your base

1. Access Base Dashboard from the left sidebar
2. Navigate to the Members tab.
3. Locate the user whose access you want to change.
4. Use the dropdown to assign a new role specific to this base.

More details about roles & permissions can be found here.

Remove members from your base

1. Access Base Dashboard from the left sidebar
2. Navigate to the Members tab.
3. Locate the user to remove.
4. Set their role to No Access using the dropdown.

Direct base invite

In addition to inviting workspace members to a base, you can invite users directly to a specific base (with restricted workspace access). This is useful when you want to grant someone access to only a single base without exposing the rest of the workspace.

When a user is invited directly to a base:

• They are automatically added to the parent workspace with the No Access role.
• Their access is restricted exclusively to the base they were invited into.
• They will not be able to view or access any other bases, tables, or data within the same workspace.
• Their name will still appear in the workspace’s member list, but their visibility and access will be limited.

This approach is ideal for sharing specific projects with external collaborators, clients, or temporary contributors without compromising workspace-level visibility.
