Team up to build better Rovo agents: Introducing collaboration features

[#1]

We’re excited to announce a major step forward in building, managing, and scaling your Rovo agents: the ability to invite collaborators! Whether you’re working on a complex workflow or just want a second set of eyes, collaboration just got a whole lot easier.

Why Collaborators?

Building a great agent is rarely a solo mission. You might want to co-design prompts, share maintenance, or get help troubleshooting. Until now, managing agents could feel a bit lonely.

---

The Solution: Work as a Team

With our new collaboration features, you can now add trusted teammates as collaborators on any agent you own. Here’s what changes:

• Before: You were the only editor and manager—if you weren’t available, updates had to wait.

• Now: Invite multiple users as collaborators. They can edit, improve, and help manage your agent—no need to transfer ownership or worry about losing control.

Benefits:

• Build and maintain agents together: Empower your team to contribute and innovate at any time.

• Keep agents up-to-date: Collaborators help ensure your agents run smoothly.

• Share the load: Distribute creative and operational responsibilities, so your agents keep evolving.

Roles & Permissions

Role	Can Edit	Add Collaborators	Delete Agent	Transfer Ownership

Why This Matters

• No more single points of failure: If you’re out of office, your agent isn’t stuck.

• Faster iteration: Teamwork drives quicker enhancements.

• Clear governance: Ownership and permissions are transparent and easy to manage.

Ready to get started?
Open your agent in Studio, go to the Users and Permissions tab, and start inviting your teammates. We can’t wait to see what you build together!

We value your feedback and want to make Rovo agents the best they can be. If you have suggestions, questions, or need help, reach out—we’re here for you!

P.S. This is currently rolling out progressively, everyone should have access by end of this week (September 12th)!

Note:
We know you’ll want versioning next. Don’t worry—it’s on the way (follow along here)

This is great! We just had a Community event where we discussed missing features and this was one of it.

We talked about how it would be helpful to add a Team as the Agent owner with two consequences: 

1. Everyone on the team could manage the agent (However I do like the option of collaborators even more)
2. It's clear to everyone what Team is responsible for the agent and who it's useful for

That idea was also extended to where we could limit Agents' visibility to that team only. -> Declutter that list of Agents, make sure any user knows what to expect of the agents available, more governance and less chance of abuse of agents.

Thanks for this!

Will all Rovo agent permissions be editable by Org Admins? Incase of Agent Owner leaving the org can we override?

Hey @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ -- in the next 1-2 weeks, you’ll be able to assign a “team sponsor” to an agent (displayed as “by...XXX”). This will make it clear which team the agent is associated with—for example, the IT Support Team owning the IT Assistant agent. Please note: assigning a team sponsor does not grant collaborator permissions.

@Bryan Kenny Org admins can transfer ownership to themselves (or someone else) if an agent creator leaves. They also have the ability to delete any agent :)
