Project Manager Permission Types
In TMS, there are two permission types for the Project Manager (PM) role:
- Full PM
- Vendor PM
The differences between a Full PM and a Vendor PM are:
- Vendor PM permissions can only be granted to users who are "guests" within your community (i.e. belong to an organization different than your own).
- Full PMs can be granted any of the three project access levels detailed below, whereas Vendor PMs can only be granted Project Owner access or Guest Shared User access.
- Vendor PMs have reduced access to certain project management features (e.g. unable to add projects or view/edit workflows).
- Vendor PMs have restricted data visibility when using certain project management features (e.g. Teams, Contacts, Reports).
For a full list of PM permission type differences, see the table below.
Project Access Levels
Projects have three levels of user access:
- Project Owners - have full and unrestricted access to all aspects of that project.
- Shared Users - have reduced access to project management features within that project (e.g. unable to mark the project complete, view TM stats, edit project settings).
- Guest Shared Users - have both reduced access to features within the project, as well as restricted data visibility (e.g. unable to view documents and targets not assigned to their organization).
For a full list of project access level restrictions, see the table below.
Restrictions for Vendor PMs and Shared Users on Projects
Note: None of the restrictions described below affect users with the Community Admin user role.
