We get the occasional request from clients whom we shoot several properties wanting access to workshop. The downside to this is somewhat a privacy issue. You cannot give them dedicated access without letting me see other internal private resocurces. Once a collaborator is given access they can view all other collaborators you have. In addition they can click on an individual collaborator and see:
First Name
Last name
Title
Phone
Email Address
Account Type
Upload Folder

I asked Matterport about this and they didn't seem to acknowledge this was an issue. We work for competing Real Estate companies and much of this information should be private and not made available to every collaborator in the system. They can easily harvest much of this information for there own personal gain. This seems a bit intrusive to me. Also Matterport displays their "Order Camera" on collaborators page.
We have clients on the fence considering buying a camera and going it alone - this gives them added incentive.

Anyone else see a concern with this?

I agree it's a bit of a concern as well Bill.
But understanding MP business model, it is to be expected. They have investors that obviously require money paid back to them, and they need volume to do this.

There are many things I would like to see to make my business much easier. Access to workshop is one thing that should be made smoother for our clients, and hopefully this will be made possible when the next version becomes available next year.

Given the price and commitment involved with not only getting a camera, but hosting the models, it's not something the average agent should really consider. Buying a camera and doing a scan is only part of the whole thing, and a lot of them don't realise this.

I understand the marketing angle - but the privacy issue does concern me a bit more. I have to juggle and shorten names, change titles to some and they ask what I did and I try to explain others can see their info.

@Bill you can give access to a folder only. Collaboration is a cumbersome implementation with some known, but not fixed issues (tactical; not privacy related).

Please PM me if you would like to test drive giving and/or getting limited access.

Hey Dan, Even though you can give access to one folder that collaborator can still click on "All Collaborators" and then click on each one individually. I'll PM you.....
