Collaboration tools encompass READMEs, team project Wikis, notifications, feedback, and search.
Most of these tools are available to you if you're added as a team member or a member of the Contributors group for a team project. The most common built-in groups include Readers, Contributors, and Project Administrators. For a simplified view of all default permissions assigned to built-in groups, see Default permissions and access.
Stakeholders have limited access to view charts and dashboards. To learn more, see About access levels.
