--- title: Project Roles slug: blueprint/project-roles docTags: oum8q4bc0upaPf1EXLYNr createdAt: 2026-05-27T23:52:07.967Z --- Project Roles define the privileges that control how users interact with a Blueprint project — what they can access and modify. Project Roles are assigned to Project Groups, giving all group members the corresponding privileges. Navigate to **Settings** -> **Projects** -> *select a project* -> **User Management** -> **Project Roles**. :::hint{type="info"} ⓘ To view Project Roles, users must have either the **View Groups, Project Roles, and Project Role Assignments** privilege in their Project Administrator Role, or the **Administer All Projects** privilege in their Instance Administrator Role. See [Settings & Administration](docId\:JeQi_1BtcY22hBSIrMVQY) for more information. Project Roles control what users can do *within a project*. Project Administrator Roles and Instance Administrator Roles control what users can do *within administration*. ::: For a full list of available privileges for Project Administrators, see [Project Administrator Roles and Privileges](docId:1gU-meOIox_RRuXJS-nnU). *** The page lists all Project Roles for that project. Click any column header to sort. Click a role name to open its detail page, which shows: - The role description - All associated privileges (indicated by selected checkboxes) - The associated Project Administrator Role and its description, if assigned. Note, Project Administrator Roles are defined under Instance-level User Management as explained here: [Project Administrator Roles](docId\:Kbpq4NWeEV7IFRqNl9k9y) - **Project Group Assignments** tab — all groups assigned to the role.
