Can only give filter access to a either "All roles" or "Administrators" for the Project Type

[Ryan Cabanas]

Hi,

I have a filter that I want to share with certain Project Roles.  When I go to the permissions area to accomplish this, the only options I see in the dropdown are either "All roles", or "Administrators".  The target Project has multiple roles in it, but I'm not seeing them listed here.  How do I correct this, please?

Thanks!

Can you try adding yourself to the project role you want to share with?

Thanks,

@Kian Stack Mumo Systems You're right.  Whichever project roles I add myself to are then available in this dropdown.

This sounds wonky to me.  Is this a Bug, and if not, do you know the logical explanation for this implementation?

Thanks for the workaround, though!

I also remembered another area that is affected in this same manner.  Comments.  When choosing who Comments should be visible to, the same limitations existed as I saw in my original post about sharing Filters.  After adding myself to all of the Project Roles, now all Project Roles show in the little lock dropdown list when adding a Comment.  Interesting.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi @Ryan Cabanas 

I think those are the only option if you're sharing with a 'project'.  

We use 'groups' to get around this.  I create a group, then add the people who need access to the filter.

If you need more help on groups, the link below should assist:
