Assigning Projects to Users

As an ALM site administrator, you can control user access to ALM projects by defining the projects to which a user can log on. When a user is no longer working on a project, remove the user from the User Projects list.

When you add a user to a project, the user is automatically assigned to the project with Viewer privileges. For details on user groups and group privileges, see Managing Users in a Project and Managing User Groups and Permissions.

Note:

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

  • ALM sends automatic email notification 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.

  1. In Site Administration, click the Site Users tab. In the right pane, select the User Projects tab. The Projects list for the selected user is displayed.
