Quick Topic - Structured Project Naming FAQ - Can I specify default settings in the project profile? FAQ - How do I unlock users who have been locked out of the system?

Quick Topic - User-Defined Fields If you would like to learn more about how to navigate the Knowledge Center, please view this entry!     Ask Support Question: Who has access to Project Notes? Answer:  Those who can view or create Project Notes include: Users who have an assignment (even if it has expired/ended) Project Administrators for the project and their alternates System Administrators Assignments can be an explicit people assignment, an organizational assignment (where every user in the specified organization has access), or even if the project is set to 'Self Assign' on the Project Profile > Access tab. Access for users with organization access (not org assignment) can be turned off by unchecking the Org Administrators Access roles on the Project Profile > Access tab. Access for users can be turned on or off via the Allow Access by Role functionality within the note. A user who has organizational access to a project within that organization can create a note and deny access to other users with the same organizational access. This is done by using the Allow Access by Role to give access to no roles or other roles (i.e.: a Project Viewer can give Project Manager role access only, which has the effect of denying all other roles access - except Project Managers and Administrators because they always have access to Project Notes). Those who can edit or delete Project Notes include: Project Managers for the project System Administrators Project Leads (for the ones they can access) Note that the creator of a Project Note can delete the note if access is still available. Users who have access to the project (as noted in the first paragraph) can view Project Notes but can not edit or delete them. They can, however, create comments for those Project Notes. These comments can be deleted by the users (specified above) who can edit or delete the Project Note. To learn more, view this Knowledge Center Entry.
