Access Control Page of the New Project Wizard

Use this page to enable users or groups to access the project that you are creating.

You can assign a user or a group to a project in a row within the grid but you cannot assign both.

Field Description
Owner This field displays the user ID of the owner of the file. By default, this field displays the user ID of the user creating the file. You can change the ownership of the file 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 rights to multiple users. 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 users' access levels 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 Select this option to allow the creator of the project (or any member of the SYSADMIN group) to give a user or a group Read Only access to the file.

You cannot assign Read Only access to any member of the SYSADMIN group or to the owner of the project.

You can modify the access control settings afterwards on the Access Control tab of the Project Properties dialog box.
