A project has three lists of people: members (who can track time to it), managers (who oversee it), and viewers (read-only access, usually for clients). This article covers members and managers. Viewers are covered separately.

Who can do this
Owner only.
Adding members
Members are the people who can track time to the project.
Open Projects in the sidebar
Click the project
Open the Members tab
Click Bulk add to pick multiple members at once
Search and select members
Save

Members appear in the project list immediately. They can now pick this project in the desktop app’s project selector.
Adding managers
Managers see all of the project’s data and can approve timesheets and leave for people working on it.
From the project detail page, find the Managers section
Click Add manager
Pick a user from the popover and save

A user added as a project manager (and not a team manager elsewhere) becomes a Manager for this project’s members only.
Removing members or managers
Both lists have a row menu with Remove. Removing someone from the members list does not delete their tracked time on this project. They simply cannot track new time to it.
Linking via team
If a project is linked to a team (see Linking projects to clients), adding members to the team does not automatically add them to the project. The two assignments are independent.
A member assigned to many projects
Members can be on as many projects as you want. In the desktop app they pick one at a time from the project dropdown.
Bulk add vs add manager
The Bulk add dialog adds people as members. To add managers, use the Managers section’s Add manager control instead. Managers are added one at a time on most pages.
