Create an admin role with limited browse/create options?

Matt Walker January 29, 2020

Problem: I currently have multiple project managers, each able to see the projects of the other.  Due to security concerns, I'd like to find a way to continue to allow for the PMs to create projects, but to only be able to do so (and to have visibility/browse) for their respective projects.  

Thinking: In seeing this problem, it's clear I'd need to find a way to somehow categorize each PM into some sort of tweaked Admin with custom permission scheme.  But, I only know of the Admin being able to create projects, and don't think it's possible to create a scheme that can see and create a projects for a specific category/group/container of work.

Question: Is it possible to create an admin role, e.g. someone who can create projects, but only has visibility/creatability limited to a certain collection/label/etc?  Could I use an IP to create the separation?  (If not, it seems like I'd need to set up a separate instance for each PM, yes?)

No, you have to be an admin to be able to create projects.

There are a couple of apps in the marketplace that allow some forms of delegation.

Thanks, Nic.  I figured this level of ornate customization wouldn't be out-of-the-box, so appreciate your confirmation. I'll look at some add-ons.
