Assigning Users to Projects

As a site administrator, you can control access to projects or template projects by defining the users that can log on to the project. You can assign users to projects from the Users list, or copy users from existing projects. You can also assign users as project administrators. For details on assigning project administrators, see Assigning Project Administrators.

When a user is no longer working on a project, remove the user from the project to ensure project security. Removing a user from a project does not delete the user from the Users list. To remove the user from the Users list, you must delete the user from the Site Users tab, as described in Deleting Users.

Note:

  • As a project administrator, you can assign and remove users from projects, and change user privileges from the Project Customization window. For details, see Managing Users in a Project.

  • You can assign projects to users from the Site Users tab. For details, see Assigning Projects to Users.

  • Automatic email notification is sent to project administrators when users are assigned or removed from a project in Site Administration. You can make automatic notification unavailable by adding the AUTO_MAIL_USER_NOTIFICATION parameter in the Site Configuration tab. For details, see Setting ALM Configuration Parameters.

Cross Project Customization: If you are working with a template project, you assign users from the Template Users tab.

ALM Editions: Template projects are not available for Quality Center Enterprise Edition. For more information about ALM editions and their functionality, see the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management User Guide: ALM Editions.
