User group →access→ project category

Question

Dear All Apart from permission schemes, is there any way to give access rights for a specific user group to projects of a dedicated category? In my case I have several departments and/or locations working together in some projects. However, creating individual permission schemes won't work for me. I already use broad, global permission schemes for multiple departments and locations, and I want to avoid proliferating schemes just to manage different user groups. Example: - Two project categories: [R&D A] and [R&D B] - Three user groups: 1, 2, 3 - One permission scheme: How to give to user groups 1 & 2 for all [R&D A] projects, whilst providing to user groups 2 & 3 for all [R&D B] projects ?? Automation rules won't work, I figured that already. Any help is very appreciated ! Thanks & greetings Christian

Hi @Christian B_ ,

unfortunately you can't manage permissions based on project categories with a single permission scheme.

You could have a specific permission scheme for a category with groups within (it's not a best practice). My suggestion is to grant permissions to group per project basis using Project Role.

Hope this clarifies,

Fabio
