Projects permissions
Projects permissions control who has access and visibility to Projects functionality.
When a new feature is added, you typically need to assign permissions to users. This allows you to control access of who can use those new features.
A user's effective permissions can be influenced by other factors, such as their user type, role, and admin privileges. Learn more about user types and permissions.
