II. Project Access Levels (customisable)
A Project Role will then be given appropriate access to the different modules like Risk, Issue, Schedule, Budget, etc.
Project access levels are permission sets that allow members to perform different tasks within a project. By assigning project members to access levels, you determine the information they can see and actions they are allowed to perform. Focus HQ Access Levels can be "None", "View", or "Update"
You can have "Update" access to one Project module, but "View" access to another Project module.
Default access settings will be in place during the turn-over of the environment to the client but can be updated by client anytime.
See Focus HQ Default access levels settings below.
