Project Access

Project access for users can be limited to only projects an administrator gives them explicit rights to. To limit a users access to projects, mark the "Is Restricted to Projects Below" checkbox true. Add the project numbers for projects the user will need access to in the "Project Number" field. Select Add. Repeat this step for all projects the user will need access to. To remove a users access to a project, select the x icon to the right of the project in the grid. Users added to confidential projects in Project Administration will have those confidential projects displayed in this grid. If there is no check mark in the "Is Restricted To Projects Below" check box, users will have access to those confidential projects plus all other non-confidential projects.
