Define Project Access

Explanation

In order to give other persons than the project manager and sub project managers access to a project, you need to connect teams to the sub projects. You can specify % in the sub project ID field if you would like the team to have access to the entire project. 

Include team will give access to the team for the specified sub project and all sub projects beneath in the structure. Exclude team will remove the access for the team for the specified sub project and all sub projects beneath in the structure. 

Project managers and sub project managers will always have access to their own (sub) projects and all sub projects beneath in the structure.

Procedure

In Project Navigator/Project Access/Access Definition or Project/Project Access/Access Definition follow these steps: 

  1. Select the Project Access/Access Definition tab, and create a new record.
  2. Enter a team ID or use the List of Values. 
  3. Enter the sub project ID. By entering the wildcard symbol %, the team will get access to all sub projects. Note that if you are in Project Navigator, and a sub project is currently selected the team will get access to the selected sub project, and you are not able to use the wildcard. If you want to use the wildcard when in Project Navigator, you have to select the project node in the graphical navigator.
  4. The value in the Access field is by default set to Included, which will give access to the selected sub project, and all levels below. Selecting Excluded in this field will revoke access to this sub project and its structure below from the team.
  5. Save the record.
