Projects

This item of the controls the entire Projects form in PM Compass. Disabling it also disables all of the menu options found in Projects such as New, Cost Analysis, and Enter Progress.

When you enable it, all of its children are also enabled by default. You can, however, define the permissions for each item on the Projects menu individually.

In addition, some of the parent items are not really securable options. EPM SA only uses them to group children. For example, the Links menu under Project Form View is only used to group the securable options on the Links tab, and does not indicate that you can disable the tab. Similarly, the Reports » Report Categories option is used to group various categories, and does not refer to a securable option. Thus, selecting either Enabled does not have any effect.

If you do not have access to the Project option, the New option is also disabled. This is because you cannot create a new project if you do not have access to the required fields in the Edit section.

The following items can be found within the Projects menu:
