Sometimes you may not have the coding resources in-house to undertake the coding necessary for a project.
You may therefore want to use the resources offered by a coding services provider. However, you (and they) may not be comfortable with the provider logging in directly to your account. Instead, you may want to simply delegate the project to your provider. This article explains the concept of project delegation in Codeit and how to use it.
How it works
Under normal circumstances, when you create a project in Codeit, it is only visible within the company it was created within.
Project Delegation in Codeit allows a project to become visible within multiple companies. This allows you to delegate a project to a service provider with clean lines of separation. Your internal details (e.g. Users) and theirs are kept separate and private and only the project itself is visible to both parties.
Both companies are free to work on the delegated project as normal.
Set up
As a further level of separation and control, we recommend that you create a dedicated sub-company for projects you wish to delegate to a specific provider. This keeps things neatly separated and makes it clear in Codeit which projects have been delegated to your provider. Similarly, your provider will probably want to create a sub-company on their side to keep things organised. This set up works as follows:
Configuration
Currently, Codeit doesn't offer an interface to mark a company as a delegated company. If this is something you are interested in, please contact our support team who can easily apply the necessary configuration such that all projects created within a given (sub) company are automatically delegated to a partner (sub) company.
