Assigning a Project Administrator role to a user
A Project Administrator is a user that has been assigned to a project role that contains Project Administrator privileges. Project Administrators are provisioned for individual projects, meaning the Project Administrator may not have Project Administrator privileges for another project.
Tip: Because project administrator privileges are granted using project roles, you can assign the project admin privilege to an individual user or to an entire group. You may want to consider creating a Project Administrators group and then assign that group to a new project role called Project Administrator Role. If you use this strategy, you can simply add a user to the Project Administrators group to grant project administrator privileges to that user.
Project administrators with the correct privileges can grant project role privileges to any user or group, but only within the project(s) to which the user has project administrator privileges.
Note: Project administrators can only assign custom project administrator roles if the roles have already been created by an instance administrator.
To grant project administrator privileges to a user or group:
-
Create the new user or new group if it does not already exist (Instance Administration Console).
Note: You must have the correct instance administrative privileges to create a new user.
- Create the project administrator role if it does not already exist (Instance Administration Console).
-
Create a new project role (Project Administration Console). This project role must be created in each Blueprint project if you want users to have project administrator privileges.
- Create a new project role assignment to assign the user (or group) to the project role that contains the project administrator privilege (Project Administration Console).
