At some point in the lifetime of a Radicle project you may want to collaborate with someone else allowing them to become a project maintainer. This requires adding them as a delegate and possibly editing the threshold for passing new changes to the identity of the project.

For cases where threshold = 1, it is enough to use the rad delegate command. For cases where threshold > 1, it is necessary to gather a quorum of signatures to update the Radicle identity. To do this, we use the rad id command.

Let's add Bob as a delegate using their DID did:key:z6MkedTZGJGqgQ2py2b8kGecfxdt2yRdHWF6JpaZC47fovFn.

Before moving on, let's take a few notes on this output. The first thing we'll notice is that the difference between the current identity document and the proposed changes are shown. Specifically, we changed the delegates:

"delegates": [
-    "did:key:z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi"
+    "did:key:z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi",
+    "did:key:z6MkedTZGJGqgQ2py2b8kGecfxdt2yRdHWF6JpaZC47fovFn"
],

Next we have the number of Accepted reviews from delegates, starting off with none:

total: 0
keys: []

The same with Rejected reviews:

total: 0

Finally, we can see whether the Quorum was reached:

Let's see what happens when we reject the change:

Let's say we decide to also change the threshold, we can do so using the --threshold option:

The proposal is now closed and cannot be committed. If at a later date we want to update the document with the same change we have to open a new proposal.

If at any time we want to see what proposals have been made to this Radicle identity, then we can use the list command:

$ rad id list
06d9efa2a9aad06bfdf25a25690e1ec7db2c3c39 "Add Bob"           committed
dc00640d3152ea5f1df59f39f2f5983d2ad21810 "Update threshold"  closed

And if we want to view the latest state of any proposal we can use the show command:

$ rad id show dc00640d3152ea5f1df59f39f2f5983d2ad21810
