Access Control Tab of the Project Properties Dialog Box

Use this tab to enable users or groups to access the selected project or to change the access control settings for users or groups that have access to the project.

Access control settings for users and groups are initially defined in the New Project wizard when you create a project. The access control entry supports a read-only flag. The owner (or member of the SYSADMIN group) can use this feature to override the access rights otherwise permitted to the specific User/Group/Role combination.

Field	Description
Owner	This field displays the user ID of the owner of the project. By default, this field displays the user ID of the user creating the project. You can change the ownership by clicking in the Owner field and selecting another user ID in the Users lookup dialog box.
User	Users are individuals who can be given the right to open and view the project.
Group	Groups are composed of individual users and provide a convenient way of assigning multiple user rights to the project. Typically, a group is a collection of people working on a particular project. A user can be a member of any number of groups. The SYSADMIN group is a special group that has access to administrative information. Use the WORLD group to provide access to all users. For example, use this group to provide all users with read access to the project. All users you define in the EPM Security Administrator (EPM SA) automatically become members of the WORLD group in Cobra. Since this special group does not require you to maintain the users, you cannot select the WORLD group in the Group list in EPM SA.
Role	Roles define the permissions of a user in EPM SA. Each user has a primary role, such as analyst or project manager. You can override the primary role for an individual by entering a role next to a group or a user.
Read Only	This option, when checked, allows the creator of the project (or any member of the SYSADMIN group) to provide a user or a group with Read Only access to the project. You cannot assign Read Only access to any member of the SYSADMIN group or to the owner of the project.
