Configure access to projects

Access to a project can only be managed on one non-global category at a time. Organization admins can hide or display any projects that are active in the organization.

Important considerations
  • You can only edit access to projects on top-level parent categories. All child categories inherit the top-level (parent) access to projects. This action also affects all move, copy, and merge actions.

  • Organization admins can’t edit category access when categories are applied to items in the project they are trying to remove. Applied categories must be unapplied from all items in the selected projects before category access can be hidden. This action also affects all move, copy, and merge actions.

To configure access to projects:

  1. From the Jama Connect header, select Admin > Organization > Categories.

  2. In the Categories admin tree, select the Project category you want to update, then select Manage access.

    Select the Project category to update, then select Manage access.

    The Manage access window opens.

  3. From the Hidden projects column, select the projects you want to be visible: select a single project or select multiple projects and use the arrows to move them to the Visible projects column.

    Move projects you want to be visible from the Hidden column to the Visible column.

    The selected categories are highlighted in yellow until you save your changes.

    The bottom of the page lists the number of projects that will be hidden or visible and the number of categories that will be impacted.
