User rights hierarchy

Added by Alexander Ott about 8 years ago

Hello everyone,
I’m currently evaluating OpenProject as Project planning software in my company. We’re quite amazed of the tool yet, except one thing:
Is there a way to map some kind of user hirarchy into OpenProject? For instance, I want to create a “supervisor” user who can see and edit all projects without having admin rights in the system.
Also, the leader of the IT department should see and edit every IT project, the leader of the marketing department every marketing project and so on.

Best regards

Alexander Ott

Hi Alexander,

you can create and manage roles and responsibilites, e.g. a role “supervisor” who has certain rights (but no admin rights).
Each person can have different role(s) in different projects. You have to assign a person with a certain role to a project. So, you could also create a role “IT lead” or “Marketing lead” and assign this role to the person for all respective projects.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
Birthe
