This document provides information on how to give other users authoring access to a Pressbook you administer.
To make collaborations easier, Pressbooks allows book administrators to give other people editing access to their books. These instructions outline that process, assuming that the person to be added already has a UW-Madison Pressbooks account. Details to request a Pressbooks account are outlined in this document: Pressbooks - Overview (UW-Madison).
