The grid below elaborates on the system permissions for user roles in Camms.Project. These user roles can be assigned to users via Framework> Project Settings > Manage Users page.

Group

Camms System Position

Description

Project Management

Project Viewer

Has the ability to view all projects in the system regardless of he/she being in the project board and team.
However, they will not be able to edit projects unless they have edit permissions for their project position or have IPM Admin, Project Manager permissions

 

Note: ‘Project Viewer’ user role will be activated when the external setting ‘Enable Project Viewer user role in Manage Users’ is turned ON.

Project Creator

Project creator role is ideally given to project assistants so that they would be allowed to create projects on behalf of the project manager. 

 

Project creator will have the permission to create a new project or duplicate a project, and edit the newly created project till the 1st phase of the project is signed off (given that external setting ‘Allow Project Creator to view/edit the projects created by him/her within Project Register and Executive Dashboard when they are not a part of the project board’ is turned ON). However, they will not be allowed to delete any projects created.

Project board and team supersedes project creator role. Therefore, if a particular user with the project creator role is added to the board and team of a particular project, the board and team role permissions would apply.
