How to Grant Your Colleagues Access to a Sandbox: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/1082557

You've built a sandbox and need your colleagues to look at something you've done - great! Unlike your production account, you need to take an extra step to let additional users into your sandbox. We'll show you how to:

This should take about 10 minutes. Go forth and share the wonder of your Sandbox!

Grant access to colleagues

1. Log in to your Sandbox

Here's a refresher if you need it.

2. Click on the gear and go to Setup

3. Search for and click on Users

4. Click "Edit" next to the user you'd like to access your sandbox

5. Remove ".invalid" from the email address field

Leave the Username field (and all other fields) as they are.

But why?

By default, only the user who created the sandbox has a working email address inside the sandbox; everyone else automatically has ".invalid" appended to their user's sandbox email address.

That's to keep other users from getting unnecessary notifications when you're running sandbox tests, and it's very helpful! However, it also means your colleagues can't log into your sandbox until you grant them access.

You won't see the Email change right away - the Email field will still show the address with ".invalid" until your colleague verifies the change and logs in.

7. You'll receive a pop-up warning - click "OK"

Your colleague will receive an email to confirm you changed their email in the Sandbox.  Have them click the confirmation link, and welcome them to your Sandbox.
