Manage user rights on company level

Prev Next

Users who have company rights automatically transfer those rights to any project within the company, including subsidiaries. This is because they already have rights at a company level. If you do not want this, you can give users rights at a project level.

You can give a user different types of permissions per project, but this must be done manually.

Check a user’s permissions

Click Users in the navigation menu.

Hint!

In the Company Rights tab, only users who have been added at company level are shown. Users who are part of one or more projects can be found under the Project Rights tab. Also note that if a user is added at the company level, the user will be visible in all your projects.

Manage a user's permissions

There are several ways to change a user's permissions:

  • via the company or project tab via the Users page;

  • via the user tab via the Companies page;

  • via the user tab via the Projects page.

Manage permissions from the Edit User panel

In the Edit User panel, click on the Company Rights tab. Use the search bar to look up the company that this user is part of.

Attention!

The rights displayed in light gray are rights that you do not have yourself, but that the user has. You can't remove from or add permissions to a user that you don't own.

Click Add Rights.
