The Editor permission level within projects allows project members to add and update content, but will restrict them from modifying the project’s structure.
Editors will be able to add tasks and update task descriptions, but will not be able to delete a project or make it public.
Only project admins have the ability to modify a project’s structure. You can view each user's permission level by clicking the Share button within the project.
To update project permissions:
- Click the Share button on the top right of your project .
- Click the drop-down arrow next to each member’s name and update their permission level to Project admin, Editor or Commenter.
Users who previously had Can edit access are now Project admin. This ensures everyone has the same access as they did previous to this update. We recommend updating permission levels to reflect the right permissions for each project.
To restrict editors from changing project workflows (custom fields, rules, etc.):
- Click the dropdown arrow next to the project name.
- Navigate to Review project permissions.
- Select Only project admins and click Save.
This means that editors will not see the customize menu when they navigate to the project and will be unable to add, modify, or delete custom fields, rules, forms, apps, task templates, or workflows.
You must be a project admin to access the Review project permissions option.
