I am on the free plan only.

I am the only person with access. I tried to add four other people with editor status. Although the dialog says I can have up to 5 collaborators (including me), the Share invite box will let me add only 2 of the 4?

This is very confusing, but there are 3 different share buttons in Airtable:

  1. At the workspace level, the “share” button shares your entire workspace.
  2. Within each individual base, the “share” button shares that particular base. Repeat for each base.
  3. At the interface level, the “share interface” button shares selected interfaces.

Your 5 editor users are the sum of all the editor users across all these different types of sharing. (Although if the same user repeats across different types of sharing within a single workspace, they only count as one user.)

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Scott.

I am attempting to share Table 2 in a 2 table database. I haven’t shared Table 1, or the database itself, to anyone else.

Tables can’t be shared. As I outlined in my post above, only workspaces, bases, and interfaces can be shared.

Your screenshot doesn’t go down far enough to show the users that you’ve already shared that base with, but that menu will show you a list of users that you have already shared your base with.

Be sure to also check your workspace sharing and interface sharing as well, and then you can add up all the editors or creators that you have invited.

However, the easiest & best place to see all of this information combined together in one master list is inside your Workspace settings, on the Collaborators tab. That will show the unified list of all your workspace collaborators, base collaborators, and interface collaborators — all in one spot.

Hope this helps!
