User manual

You can view a member's assigned or actual permission level in the Project
Administration Member’s tab:
2 Select a project in the tree view. Right-click and choose Properties.
3 Click the Members tab.
4 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.
Setting permissions at the project level
Typically, a member's permission is set at the project level. This is the most
important level because permissions are inherited in subfolders. (This is true
of every permission level except List, which does not inherit downward.) Thus,
it is important to think about your project members and what level of access
they will need to all folders and files within the project.
NOTE Permissions that are assigned at the top level are not inherited if a folder
or file at a subordinate level has permissions locked. See
Locking and Unlocking
Permission Sets
(page 138) for more information.
