Project Management Overview › Access Rights (Projects)

Access Rights (Projects)

Access to project management functionality is managed by the use of access rights. Rights are provided on a number of levels to offer maximum flexibility and protection to CA Clarity PPM users. Your CA Clarity PPM administrator, resource manager, or project manager can grant access rights. When you are given access rights, you should be notified. If you are unsure of your access rights, contact your CA Clarity PPM administrator, resource manager, or project manager.

Access rights are assigned at the following levels:

• Global. Granted globally to all instances of the object. Global access rights are followed by the word "All," as in Project - Edit - All.

  Example: If you are granted the Project - Edit - All access right, you can edit all projects.

• Instance. Granted one project at a time. Instance access rights and are not followed by the word "All." With project edit instance-level access rights, you can edit only the project instance to which you have been granted access.

  Example: If you are granted the Project - Edit access right to the "Call Center Improvements" project, you can edit that project's properties. In this case, you cannot edit any other projects unless you have instance or global level access to them. Most users have only instance-level access rights to certain objects.

• Group. Instance and global access rights granted at the group level. When you are a member of the group, you receive the access rights that have been set up for the group.
• OBS. Instance and global access rights granted at the OBS unit or department level. When you are a member of the OBS unit or department, you receive the access rights that have been set up for the OBS unit or department.
