Security

The actions that users are able to perform are defined by the role each user is assigned in the project. The Collaboration roles are:

• Project Leader (Admin access level by default)
• Project Member (Write access level by default)     
• Project Guest (Read access level by default)   

You can have an event, document, task, and discussion inherit the default security settings that the creator of the project configured in the Roles and Permissions Editor of the project. Changes made to the security settings through the Roles and Permissions Editor cascade to all objects that are configured to inherit the default privileges. These changes apply to the objects retroactively.  

Alternatively, you can give an object security settings that are independent from the project level security settings. If you clear the Inherit Default Security Settings check box, you exempt this object from any future project-wide security changes. It will retain its security setting regardless of the security settings of the rest of the functional area Collaboration provides various functional areas where users can perform actions to manage and track their projects. The functional areas are Overview (of the project), Calendar, Documents, Discussions, and Tasks. and project.
