Discussion about adding a collaborator to a Sanity project and the possibility of paying for additional roles on the free plan.

Hello! I've run into a problem which I can't really explain except from misunderstanding something. 🤔 I'm currently developing a next.js/sanity based portfolio (on the free plan), up until now alone. Ive got everything working - from vercel deploys to live preview. Now i wanted to Invite a friend (also as administrator) to that sanity project, helping me filling in some content (and flexing that sweet live preview, of course). But no matter what, when trying to access the deployed studio he gets a "Unauthorized" when logging in. I checked the network tab, and saw that the 
me
cookie is quite different for him than for me.His:

{"id":"myCollaboratorsId", "name":"myCollaborator", "email":"myCollaborator@domain", "profileImage":null, "roles":[]}
wheras mine looks like this:


{"id": "myId", "name":"myself", "email":"myself@domain", "profileImage":null, "role":"administrator" ,"roles":[{"name": "administrator", "title": "Administrator", "description": "Read and write access to all datasets, with full access to all project settings."}]}
In the sanity management console we appear to have the exact same roles though. I don't understand why his roles are essentially non-existant. Any Ideas what's the issue here? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance!

It could be possible they accepted the invitation using a different service provider than the one they’re now trying to log in with.

If you curl 
<https://api.sanity.io/v2021-07-22/projects/><PROJECT_ID>/acl
with a token, can you see two administrators?

curl --request GET \
  --url <https://api.sanity.io/v2021-07-22/projects/><PROJECT_ID>/acl \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <ENTER TOKEN HERE>'

This curl returns an array with just 1 user, myself - should this return all users?

Okay, nevermind. I found the issue. I was constantly looking at the wrong project - as i made a copy once with a simlar name. I'll tar and feather myself and leave in shame 😬

Glad you got it figured out! Put the tar and feathers away and be glad you got this one solved before it put a damper on your whole weekend. 🙌

And yes, that curl command should return all users on a given project .

Thanks Geoff - it was indeed looking dire for that weekend until now, heh. Another quick question though - the 
developer
plan seems to be gone, correct? Is there any other way to get editor roles into the free account for a small fee instead of going 99/mo?

For all new projects, yes that is currently correct. However, there is an internal conversation underway to revisit the roles and though I don’t know any specifics, I’m sure it’s something to stay tuned for.

Oh, okay! Super glad to hear that. Honestly, if that would be possible (paying a little extra for enabling a role) you'd never get rid of me as a client anymore.

Thanks for all the help (albeit more like impersonating a rubberduck 😉 ) - I wish you a splendid weekend!

I’ll be a rubber duck any time!
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll pass it along.
