# Collaborator accounts

Collaborator accounts allow you to invite external collaborators or contractors, such as freelance designers, researchers, or simply engineering workforce, to work on your projects temporarily. [HTH-1359]Restrictions defined at the company level determine who can invite external contributors (for details, see Feature settings). If you have permission, you can invite a collaborator by providing their email address. The invited collaborators receive an email with a link for setting their initial password. After selecting a password, TeamHub automatically signs them in.

Collaborator accounts are subject to restrictions. Collaborators can:

- Only see the projects in which they have a direct role.
- Not see any company scope data. See also Getting started.
- Only hold a `Guest`, `Developer`, or `Master` role in projects.

With Helix authentication, certain restrictions apply to TeamHub functionality. For details, see Limitations with Helix authentication.
