After you have added a user to the Security grid, you can assign one or more projects to the user. By default, when you assign a project to a user, the user has access to all features and WBS elements associated with the project. However, you can control the user's access to every MPM feature that can be applied to a project, and to every WBS element in a project.
System administrators automatically have access to all projects. You cannot assign projects to a system administrator.
If many users will have the same access privileges to a project, you can create Equivalent Users that define access to features and WBS elements. You can then assign the Equivalent User Rights to others using the Feature Equiv and WBS Equiv fields.
This topic covers the basic steps required to assign a project to a user. Information on restricting access to features and WBS elements is covered in the following sub-topics:
