This article provides an overview of the main platform features that will help you work effectively with the Hunter community: selection, invitation, technical requirements, messaging, collaboration, and credential management.
Hunter collaboration
Main takeaways
You can enable Hunter collaboration within a program. This feature allows multiple Hunters to work together on the same report. When collaboration is enabled, rewards are automatically shared between Hunters.
How to configure collaboration
Go to the ‘Admin panel’
Create a new program or open an existing one
Go to ‘Edit Program’ to access the program configuration
In the Bug Bounty Configuration page, locate the ‘Reporting’ section
Enable the ‘Collaboration’ option
Invite Hunters to the program as usual
ℹ️ To be declared as collaborators on a report, Hunters must already have been invited to the program before the report is accepted. Once the report has been accepted or paid, collaborators can no longer be added.

Hunting Requirements (VPN, account access, etc.)
