Manage Group Access
The Roles tab lets you view and manage the permissions that are available to the members of a group. Group members inherit permissions based on the roles that are assigned to the group in one or more projects.
You can also use groups to grant group members access to a project by adding the group directly to the project team. For more information, see Manage the Project Team.
View Access Permissions of a Group
The access permissions for a group are displayed on the Roles tab of the group profile. Here, you can view which roles are assigned to the group.
There are two views available on this tab. The default view shows the list of roles that are assigned to the group, listed by Project or organization.
The first section shows roles that are assigned directly to the group.
The second section shows roles that are assigned to the group as a member of a project team.
The last sections show roles that the group inherits from any parent groups including roles that are assigned to the All Users group.
You also have the option to view the list by Role.
The information is divided into the same sections that are shown when viewed by Project.
The following actions are available in both views:
Use the search box to filter the list. You can use a range of filter criteria including user, group, role, and permission. Enter your search criteria in the format
