DescriptionPermission Level
the member delete his or her email storage first, and then the
site administrator should delete the member.
Site administrators can view all information pages even if they
have not been explicitly added to the access list for an informa-
tion page. Site Administrators can only delete members from a
project if he or she has been specifically added to the same
project.
See the Glossary definition of Site Administrator (page 392) for
more details.
Viewing assigned permissions versus 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.
