Originally created by @ethantkoenig on GitHub (Dec 13, 2017).

Why do we need both an access and a collaboration table? The schemas for the two tables are identical. The only difference I can see between the two tables is that the collaboration table only contains users that are explicitly added as collaborators, whereas the access table also contains users who have access as the result of being on a team.

Can we get rid of the collaboration table, and just have the access table?

It seems you are right. maybe we can merge that two tables.
