How to manage maintainers for your project

Read the Docs Community allows you to manage maintainers for your projects. Every project is configured with its own list of maintainers who will all have admin privileges to the project, so be careful when adding new maintainers.

When you add a maintainer to your project, they will be invited to join the project as a maintainer. They will receive an email notification with a link to accept the invitation, and won’t have access to the project until they accept the invitation.

Adding a maintainer

Adding a maintainer gives them admin access to your project.

Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Settings tab of your project.
Under Setup, click on the Maintainers tab.
Click the Add maintainer button.
Fill out the form with the new maintainer’s username or email address.
Click Invite.

Removing a maintainer

Removing a maintainer revokes their admin access to your project.

Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Settings tab of your project.
Under Setup, click on the Maintainers tab.
Find the maintainer you want to remove in the list.
Click the Remove button next to their name.
Confirm the removal in the dialog that appears.
