The highest permission that has been assigned to the member, regardless of

whether it was assigned at the group or individual level, is how the member

accesses an item.

For example, Jane Smith is a member of Group 1. Jane and Group 1 have

access to Project A. Jane had access to Project A, with View permission before

she was added to Group 1. Group 1 has the permission of Edit to Project A.

Because Edit is a higher level of access than View, Jane can now access Project

A with Edit permission.

The exception to this rule is if a member is assigned No Access as an individual

or as a group member. No Access overrides all other permission levels. Thus,

in the example above, if Jane was assigned View as an individual and No

Access as a group member, she would not be able to access Project A.

You can view a member's assigned or actual permission level in the Edit

Member dialog box:

2 Within the Edit Member dialog box click the Project Memberships

tab.

3 Select either display option, Assigned Permissions or Actual Access. The

values in the Permission column may change depending on how the

member is able to access the project.

NOTE The Membership column lists all of the ways a member can access a

project. It lists access via individual membership and group memberships.

The method by which the member's actual access is derived from appears

first in the Membership column. Thus, if a member's actual access is Edit

through a group membership, then the group name is listed first, followed

by the project membership.
