Need a role with permissions to create/administer projects but not have access to site admin

We are trying to create a three-tiered role system where we have:

  • members who can execute scans
  • leads who can create and administer projects (including setting up code coverage, which requires access to the admin menu in the project)
  • owners who are basically managers/directors, who are responsible for managing users.

It seems like when I set someone up with the “lead” role (see screenshot), giving them access to everything except “administer organization”, they no longer see the “administration” menu in their project, which means they can no longer configure code coverage. which makes the “lead” role not useful.

Is there any way to make this work?

Hi,

In your permission template you need to grant Creators permission to Administer the projects they create:

Thanks…so if I also added “Administer” to my “Lead” role in the Permission templates, would it allow people with the “Lead” role to administer projects they didn’t personally create? Let’s say, you have a change of lead assignment (bob leaves the company). You’d want someone other than just the creator to be able to administer.

Hi,

No.

You need - very specifically - to add Creator to your template. Then whoever creates the project gets the Creator permissions.

Then the creator can grant additional permissions as necessary.

Ah, gotcha, I didn’t see the “Permissions” menu in the project Admin area. I get it now. Thanks.

Hi again,

Sorry, but I just realized I answered in haste.

Yes, actually.

And that’s not what I meant (which is what my previous, hasty answer addressed). :smiley:
