Make sure if you give them a colonizer it is in a system with a planet they can colonize. What will happen is they will have full normal use of the colony ship in the system that you gave it to them in. But they cannot leave that system. You can use this method to help a neutral to "expand". But they will still be unable to transit any warp points.
