User Access Changes

Danny Thakkar

Hi,

I made some changes to the User Permissions to our projects. Now none of our users (including admins) are able to access the projects.

Is there a way to roll back and undo these changes?

Also, how do I give configure permissions so that only certain users have access to certain projects?

There is not an easy way of rolling back the changes that you made. If you have a recent XML backup from before you made the changes you could copy this in to a development environment and manually restore to match.

The simplest approach to managing permissions for different projects is to use a permission scheme that looks at the roles the user has within the project. So for example delete all comments, amend all comments would be appropriate for a Project Administrator; whereas add comment; edit own comment could be for all users. 

As one of the key permissions is the browse project if you set this to the users role for the project the Project Administrator can then add/remove users from this role as appropriate controlling who has access.
