Project Admin Permission

Overview

This article is intended to walk you through the Project Admin Permission.

• Project admin permission will allow project managers to minimize impactful and/or accidental changes to project plans.
• This feature allows users to limit edit access to certain people (usually Project Managers) via a workspace permission.
• Customers looking to manage more permissions at the workspace level will benefit from the Project Admin feature

 

 

Project Admin Permission

Users who have Project Admin Permissions can:

• Create and assign Tasks and Milestones
• Archive
• Mark for Internal Use Only

Assignees without Project Admin permissions can:

• Change the status of assigned Task
• Add attachments and related files 
• Log time

Users without Project Admin permissions (all users can):

• Comment on Tasks and Milestones
• CC themselves on Tasks and Milestones
• Download Attachments

 

Within a workspace Projects Admins can create, edit & delete Milestones, Tasks & Task Lists. They can also edit workspace properties.

Other users (non Project Admins) are limited to commenting and downloading attachments, except when assigned to a task or milestone.

Assignees have the permission to complete tasks, add attachments/related files, and log time to the task or milestone that are assigned.

Project Admin FAQ

• Both internal and external users can be a Project Admin.
• The feature does apply to Database tasks.
• It does not apply to personal tasks.
• Converting a task list or milestone into a template will require the Project Admin permission when the feature is turned on
• If a customer decides to stop paying for the Project Admin permission, functionality will go back to how it was before. Therefore, everyone without the Project Admin permission should once again be able to change things in the Project Management area as well as Workspace properties.
