Project permissions tab
The Project Permissions tab has two panels. You can add and remove selected users and Groups As Teams using the center buttons.
Item | Description | |
---|---|---|
1 | Groups panel | Shows groups and their users. |
2 | Projects panel | Shows projects and the users and groups assigned to each project. You can manage user and group access to a project |
3 | Add, Remove, and Add Groups As Team | You can use the buttons in the center of the page to add and remove selected users and Groups As Teams to and from projects. |
Every user must be on a team but can only belong to a single team per project. Failure to assign a user to a team for a given project will result in a misconfiguration error.
Best practice is to add Groups As Teams to projects instead of adding individual users.
Users and Groups As Teams have the following access types:
-
Read Only – Unable to make changes to a project even if they have roles that would otherwise allow it.
-
Write - The default access given to a user or group.
If you used the Add button, you can then simply click the checkbox in the Team column.
Export
You can export a Microsoft Excel file with user information and to which projects users are assigned to. Export files are useful for audits.
To export, click Export in the top right of the page to download the file.
