What is the difference between People and Access (CMP/TMP Projects)

Question

This isn't a problem for me but rather a question I'd like to understand further.

Company-managed Project (classic) have the Permission and the People tab whereas Team-managed Project (next-gen) only has access.

I understand that permissions need to be configured via scheme and ultimately gives you that additional control over multiple CMPs - but why is Access and People different in the language/wording. Does it not serve the same function??

Some clarification or guidance would really be appreciated here - because I can't consolidate these two logically.

Thanks Victor - that is helpful. So Access is essentially a combination of multiple features isolated within one project - Permission Schemes, Project Roles, and the People functionality.

Hi @Yousif Hassan

I think here are the main differences between using different terms for company vs. team-managed projects.

* Company-managed Projects (Permissions & People):* Permission schemes define what roles can do
* People specify who is assigned to those roles.

* Team-managed Projects (Access):* Combines who has access and what they can do into a simplified, project-specific model with default roles (Administrator, Member, Viewer).* https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/next-gen-permissions/

Thank you.
