Project roles

Roles option enables the following functionality:

  • To control which group or user is assigned to perform a specific step in the workflow;
  • To control who can navigate the project's menu items;
  • To set Apptimized email notifications (i.e., which users will receive the email notifications).

Once the workflow reaches a specific step, the assignment rules will ensure that the task is assigned to the correct group of users (or a user). This will prevent from performing actions by unauthorized users.

The project administrator role appears as an initial default role after the project was created.
Project administrators can perform any workflow action.

To complete the tasks with role assignments, a user must be a Project administrator or must have permission for these activities.

The option to create a role with needed permissions is available under Roles in project settings (Project menu > Administration > Roles).
