# Understanding the Project Customization Window

As an ALM project administrator, you can customize a project to meet the specific requirements of your organization in the Project Customization window.

For important considerations when making changes to project customization, see Saving Customization Changes.

The Project Customization window contains the following links:

Note: If you are working in a template project, some links are displayed with (Shared) after the name. This indicates that the customization on that page is applied to linked projects. For details, see Cross Project Customization.

Link | Description
--- | ---
User Properties | All users can use this option to change their user properties and password. For details, refer to the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management User Guide: User Properties Page. In Site Administration, a site administrator can override and change a user's properties and password from the Site Users tab. For details, see Updating User Details, and Creating and Changing Passwords. A project administrator cannot change a user's properties from Project Customization, unless the ALLOW_UPDATE_USER_PROPERTIES_FROM_CUSTOMIZATION parameter is set to Y.
Project Users | You can add and remove users from an ALM project. You can also assign users to user groups to restrict user access privileges. For details, see Managing Users in a Project. Note: You create ALM users and define user properties from Site Administration. For details, see Managing ALM Users.
Groups and Permissions | You can assign privileges to user groups by specifying permission settings. This includes specifying transition rules and hiding data. For details, see Managing User Groups and Permissions.
Module Access | You can control the modules that each user group can access. By preventing users from accessing unnecessary modules, you can better utilize your ALM licenses. For details, see Customizing Module Access for User Groups.

Alert Rules | You can activate alert rules for your project. This instructs ALM to create alerts and send email when changes occur in the project. For details, see Activating Alert Rules.
Workflow | You can generate scripts to perform commonly needed customizations on the fields of the Defects module dialog boxes. For details, see Generating Workflow Scripts.
