As a project administrator with the corresponding privileges, you can define the scope of a Project Group's assignment on a Project Role.

This means that you can specify a specific part of the project (like a folder, or an individual artifact) that a Project Group can access and perform work in, allowing you to direct and control access to a specific part of a project.

To select the scope of Project Group Assignments on a Project Role in the Project Administration Portal, users must have either

a) the "Manage 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.
