I've setup a Stackdriver account today. My colleagues [Editors on the monitored project], when navigating to [0], were prompted to create a new Stackdriver account. They could not see the one I just created, nor were they presented with the GCP project we are using. There was no obvious way to invite them to join the project, more generally there was no obvious way to manage user accounts, though I could see and edit my Profile, which does show [readonly] that I'm an "Admin", though I don't know how to make other people "Admin", or what other roles are available. It was not obvious to check which project "hosts" the Stackdriver account. There was no obvious link to a forum or chat to discuss the issue, only a "Send Feedback" link who-knows-when somebody will look at.

We eventually solved the issue by passing around [1], which is not obviously displayed anywhere. I scrapped it by right clicking and <Copy Link Address> somewhere in the UI [I forgot where].

I'm bullish on Google Cloud [founder on GCE & long departed, hi there guys], so I put a solid 30 minutes of sleuthing in it, but someone less determined would have gave up a whole lot sooner.

PS. After getting past the initial hiccup, we've setup our basic monitoring and infrastructure in a few hours. Coming to working with ops after a couple years hiatus, Stackdriver is incredibly comprehensive and easy to use. Let's see how the systems will hold moving forward.
