## Add collection contributors

Collection contributor permissions are added by the collection manager in the space snapshot publishing dashboard when

- creating a new collection using the **Add Collection** option
- editing an existing collection in the space using the **Edit** option in the collection ellipsis menu

> ℹ️ By default, when creating a new collection, all users in the instance can view and contribute to the collection (public access). Adding a user or user group as a viewer or a contributor restricts that collection permission to the specified user(s).
