Help: v0 Team Env Variables Block Development Work

Preformatted textProblem Summary
Our development team is unable to continue work due to environment variable access restrictions in v0 Teams. Only the Team Owner can add and access environment variables, while invited team members (with Viewer role) cannot access these variables or add their own.

Current Situation

  • Team Owner: Can invite colleagues and add environment variables to shared projects
  • Team Members: Can only be assigned Viewer role (in v0 Team Account Members management), cannot access Owner’s environment variables or add their own
  • Chat Sharing Attempted: Even when Team Owner shares v0 chat link with “Can edit” permissions, team members still cannot access environment variables
  • Impact: Development work is completely blocked as team members cannot work with necessary environment variables despite having edit access to the chat

What We Need
Requesting for help from anyone who can resolve one of these scenarios:

  1. Enable team members to add environment variables to projects under the Team
  2. Allow Owner’s environment variables to be shared/accessible by all team roles when working on the same project

Documentation Gap
We’ve extensively searched the documentation, but most resources point to general Vercel functionality rather than v0-specific team management. The existing docs don’t address this critical team collaboration issue.

Urgency
This is blocking our entire development workflow. Our team cannot effectively collaborate on v0 projects without shared access to environment variables.

Can anyone please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? We need a solution that allows proper team collaboration with environment variables in v0.

I am facing exactly the same issue, and it is hugely slowing our development and making the collaboration features almost irrelevant as the owner is a bottleneck

Team environment variables currently work when deployed but not in the preview, we have a fix for this coming soon

To use a team-level env var, you first need to link that shared env to your v0 project on Vercel, and then it’ll work when you deploy

I’ll post here when this is supported in v0 preview
