To improve performance, user permissions are cached. It may take up to a minute for the cache to refresh after permissions are changed for a user or group. Users whose permissions have been changed should log out and log back in.

Assigning Users to Permission Groups

You can assign users to groups that contain a range of access. This option provides a convenient way to grant permissions to project groups. You can use the built-in permission groups or create permission groups suited to your organization; see Creating Permission Groups for instructions on how to create groups.

Open a user’s profile page (see Basic User Management).
Click Add to Groups. All accessible groups are shown.
To find a specific group, enter a search term in the Search field. The list will automatically update to match your search term.
Select the groups to which you wish to add the user.
- You cannot add a user to a group that is configured to be automatically synchronized. See Configuring LDAP for additional information about settings related to importing users and groups

Removing Users from Permission Groups

At times it is necessary to remove a user from a permission group. To do so:

Open the user’s profile page (see Basic User Management).
In the Groups section, click the remove icon for the group from which you wish to remove the user.
Click Confirm when asked to confirm the action.

Assigning Native Permissions

In addition to assigning users to permission groups, you can also grant permissions to users on an individual basis. See User Administration Overview for information about built-in groups.

Open a user's profile page (see Basic User Management).
Click Add Permissions.
Choose a functionality from the Tool menu.
Choose a permission setting from the Permission menu that describes the range of permissions to grant.
A description of the selected tool permission is shown. Review it to be sure the intended tool permission has been selected.
Choose the appropriate value from the Value menu. See User Administration Overview for more information about available values.
Click Confirm to add the permission and close the dialog or click Confirm and Add Another to add the permission and leave the dialog open so you can add another one.

Remove User Permissions

At times it is necessary to remove permissions that were previously granted to a user. To do so:

Open the user’s profile page (see Basic User Management).
In the Permissions section, click the remove icon for the permission you want to remove.
Click Confirm when asked to confirm the action.
