# Visibility & access

> Control who can see and work on a project: private vs. organization, collaborators, and admin access.

Every project has a **visibility** setting that decides who can see it. Together with
**collaborators**, it lets you keep sensitive searches private while still collaborating
where it makes sense.

## Project visibility

Choose a project's visibility when you [create it](/projects/creating-projects), and change
it any time from **Edit Project**.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Private" icon="lock">
    Only visible to **you**, the **collaborators** you assign, and your organization's
    **admins**. Use this for confidential or executive searches.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Organization" icon="building">
    Visible to **everyone in your organization**. Use this for roles your whole organization
    should be able to see and pitch in on.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Organization admins can always see private projects in their organization, so nothing is
  ever fully hidden from an admin.
</Note>

## Collaborators

Collaborators are people from your organization you add to a project so they can work on it
with you. You assign them when [creating a project](/projects/creating-projects) or later
from **Edit Project**. On a **Private** project, adding someone as a collaborator is what
grants them access.

Projects that other people make visible to you (organization projects, or private projects
where you're a collaborator) appear under the **Shared With Me** tab in your projects list.

## Who can do what

The actions available on a project depend on your access to it. The project's actions menu
only shows the options you're allowed to use:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Edit">
    Update the project's title, description, visibility, and collaborators.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change status">
    Close or re-open the project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete">
    Permanently remove the project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you don't have permission for an action, it simply won't appear in the menu. Admins have
the broadest access, including visibility into private projects across the organization.

## Avoiding duplicate outreach

Because projects can be shared, Clarvo helps you avoid contacting the same candidate twice.
Use [interaction filters](/search/filters#interaction-filters) in a search to limit results
to (or exclude) candidates that you, your **collaborators in this project**, or **anyone
in your organization** has already handled.
