CVAT <> Adding users

[MohamadHam]

Hello , could you please let me know how to add a specific user to a specific project in CVAT tool?

I have many projects and I need to add my client to the related project.

Thanks!

Can you click admin page to go to the admin page？

Try to use Organizations feature.
Create an organization, invite this person to the organization (with the corresponding role), using email and within the organization create a project.

To know more about organizations, please follow this link: https://opencv.github.io/cvat/docs/manual/advanced/organization/

@bsekachev Is that feature fully functional? right now I had to upgrade all my users to admin so they can view the tasks.

@davodogster

Users must have maintainer role in an organization to see all the resources of the organization.
They do not need to have admin role in CVAT.

I'm having issues adding users on our cvat instance. Wheh I try to add them I get the error

Error: Request failed with status code 400. ["You cannot invite an user with user@host email. It is not a valid email in the system."].

What should I put for user@host here?

[bsekachev]

@rkube

It means that this email is not registered in CVAT platform.

This is probably a foolish question, so forgive me in advance for asking: does the organization feature work for CVAT run locally rather than the web-based version? The option to create an organization and invite users is included with the desktop version, but I don't see how it would work when run locally. Thanks for your input.

Same question...

Could we please get an answer to this? Does it work or not? The documentation is lacking here. I have got the local client to SEND an invitation mail, and it actually arrives, by modifying cvat/settings/base.py with this code

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com"
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "<...>@gmail.com"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "<app password>"
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
EMAIL_TIMEOUT = 10

and settings up a Gmail account with an "app password" for this, but the invitation email that arrives in non-functional. When pressing the accept button to end up at example.com and there are also not invitations arriving at the recipient's local CVAT client... well, how should they... So... Can this be made to work or not?? If so, documentation needs to be updated.
