You can view the members of a group if

a) the group is a non-private (expandable) group, or

b) you are a Site Administrator or the owner of the group.

If you are a Site Administrator or the group's owner, you can edit a group by

clicking the Edit button in the Group Members dialog box.

To view a member's assigned permission or actual access:

A member can have multiple permissions to one project (or folder or file) if

he or she is given access to an item as an individual and as a group member.

This can occur if the member is given permission to the project as an individual

with one permission level, and as a member of a group that has a different

permission level. This results in members having “assigned” permission and

“actual” access to a project.

■ Assigned permission — refers to the permission level that was assigned

to a member as an individual member.

■ Actual access — refers to the highest permission by which the member

can access an item (file, folder, or project). This permission can be derived

from either a group membership, or an individual project membership.

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.
