How do we manage multiple users in a CAL account

Question

Hello Gurus,
A colleague of mine has created an instance of HANA in CAL and I'd like to access it because we need to develop together, but we're not sure how to do so. We can see tabs "Accounts" and "Users" in CAL but how do we add someone else's user to your own CAL account?
Ideally, we'd like to both manage the same account (to start/stop the instances) with our own separate users. Should be very easy to do and yet there's no indication on how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Daniel,
Lemme explain that in detail so that, you have a clear picture on this :-)
For Paid Subscriptions:
>> The pricing works per active instance, per month: so you can have only one active instance at a given point in time in your CAL account. This means you should see only one instance under the "Instances" tab in your CAL account (the state of the instance can be active or suspended but as long as you see an instance under the "Instances" tab - it is counted as an active instance).
>> If you want to create another instance (a new solution instance), then first you will have to terminate/destroy the previous instance under the "Instances" tab so that, the Instances tab is empty and then you can go ahead and create a new instance. You can do this multiple times and create multiple instances from the solutions library as long as you follow the above mentioned rules.
For Free Trials:
>> The above restrictions do not apply for free trials and you can create multiple "unique" trial instances in parallel. For example: you can create one trial instance for BW on HANA trial and in parallel you can create another trail instance for ERP on HANA and another instance for CRM on HANA (so you can have 3 different trial instances running in your CAL account at the same time under the "Instances" tab) but you CANNOT create two instances of the same trial (so you cannot have two instances of BW on HANA trial in the same account).
For Users:
>> You can add multiple users from your organization in your CAL account and give them administrator or read only access to the solutions instances in your account.
Btw, thanks for bringing-up this question, I will add this to our FAQ section as this would be helpful for everybody.
Hope this info. helps and lemme know if you have additional questions.
