Managing project role assignments
Overview
Project role assignments link the privileges defined in project roles with the users defined in groups; it then applies this access level to a defined part of a project, ranging from a single artifact to the entire project.
Using project role assignments, project administrators can grant or restrict access to specific parts of a project, for specific groups of users.
Example
Cathy, a business analyst, wants to obtain feedback from the legal team on artifacts in a project.
The individuals on the legal team are already included in a group called Legal Team and there is already a project role called Reviewers that includes Read and Comment privileges across the entire project.
Cathy simply assigns the Legal Team group to the Reviewers project role. All of the individuals on the legal team can now view and comment on artifacts in the project.
Project role assignments are performed on the Project Role Assignments tab in the Project Administration Console. When you open the Project Role Assignments tab, the project role assignments are displayed in the leftmost panel, and the role assignment details are displayed in the rightmost panel. The Project Role Assignments tab looks like this:
The left side of the page provides you with a table containing the following columns of information about each project role assignment:
- Group: The name of the group that is assigned to the role.
- Project Role: The project role assigned.
- Scope: The project, folder, or artifact to which the project role's privileges are applied. Project role assignments can be applied at the project level, or the artifact/folder level. If the scope is set to a folder, users have access to, or are restricted to, everything in that folder (including subfolders) including newly added artifacts.
After you select a project role assignment from the table, the project role assignment details are displayed on the right side of the page.
