Privileges for users are defined by project administrators within project roles. Project Roles offer you a powerful way to control access to a project.

As a project administrator, you can use Project Roles to define various levels of access based on your team or organization's needs. You can then assign users and groups to the appropriate Project Roles.

To view Project Roles in the Project Administration Portal, users must have either

a) the "View Groups, Project Roles, and Project Role Assignments" privilege in their Project Administrator Role, or

b) the "Administer All Projects" privilege in their Instance Administrator Role.
