# \[Video] How to add a local partner

This video shows how to add a local partner to your workspace for collaboration with external parties.

***

## Key concepts

* A [local partner](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/partners#h-7e4add33a2) enables you to create a subgroup or organization of guest users inside your workspace to grant them access to the accounts they need for collaboration. Additionally, you can delegate the work of inviting guest users to an external collaborator by assigning them the **Guest Admin** role.
* Only workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, and **Admins** can add a local partner to a workspace, assign the **Host Admin** role to a workspace member, and invite a **Guest Admin** to join the workspace. For more information about roles, read the article [Roles and permissions](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/roles-and-permissions#h-49944f20ce).
* The **Guest Admin** must join your workspace from the email invite sent after adding the local partner. For instructions, see the video [How to join a local partner as a guest user](https://github.com/cerbyinc/help-center/blob/main/.uncategorized/video-how-to-join-a-local-partner-as-a-guest-user.md).
* As a **Host** or **Guest Admin**, you can invite additional guest users to a local partner. For instructions, see the video [How to invite a guest user to a local partner.](/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-invite-a-guest-user-to-a-local-partner.md)
* Only **Host Admins** can share the accounts they own with a local partner and assign the **Collaborator** or **Manager** role to the **Guest Admin**. With the **Manager** role, **Guest Admins** can propagate shared access to the accounts with other guest users. For instructions, see the video [How to share an account via a local partner](/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-share-an-account-via-a-local-partner.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-add-a-local-partner.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
