Changing project user settings
Each project has specific settings for each user in the project that control what they can do. You can make a user a main manager for the project, limit visibility to the planning and backlog views, and limit access to view project history.
1. Click Admin.
The Admin area opens.
2. Click Projects.
The Projects list opens.
3. Select a project.
The users in the project are displayed in the Settings for members of <project> area at the bottom of window.
4. Select any options for a user. The options only apply to the selected project.
- Is main manager — Makes the user a main manager for the project. Main managers have full access to the project and project plan. They delegate parts of the project to other users and manage resource allocation. Any number of users can be a main manager for a project, but we recommend to limit this access to avoid too much churn and conflict. Users cannot be main managers and have limited visibility at the same time.
- Limited visibility — Hides all items in the Planning, Backlog, and Documents views for a user. For example, select this option if you want to let outsourcing partners or other external partners access only part of a project. Users with limited visibility must be given visibility to a specific item to view it. See Limiting item visibility. Users cannot be main managers and have limited visibility at the same time.
- Can access project history — Gives users access to view project history and compare snapshots of the project. See Project history. Use this option in combination with the Limited visibility option for observers who may want to evaluate the performance of a development team. These are users who do not participate in planning, but evaluate factors such as release slippage.
Tip: When you finish changing project user settings after initial project setup, you may want to make a project schedule. See Getting started with Agile planning.
