• The title bar tells you where you are in AceProject. At the end of the title bar you will find a link to contextual help.  
• The navigation tabs allow you to browse quickly between: user, assigned projects, multiple project assignment and multiple task assignment.
• The Assigned Projects table lists all assigned projects for the user, with their access rights. 
  • You can sort the table by clicking on any column header: click once to sort in ascending order and twice to sort in descending order. 
  • There are four types of access rights to a project: project manager, time approval, project access and edit task level.
    • The Project Manager access right automatically allows the "Time Approval", "Can open this project" and the highest "Edit Task Level" access rights. Click here for more information about project manager access.
    • The "Time Approval" access right is mainly useful for time management. You can approve or reject time entered for the project by the users. You can also generate time sheet reports for the project. Project Managers automatically get the "Time Approval" access right.
    • The "Can open this project" access right is useful to setup limited access to a project user, for example a client or an outside contractor. If a user cannot open the project, he/she will only be able to see the tasks he/she is assigned to in the "My Office" tab; he/she will not be able to see the project in the project's tab. If the user can open the project, he/she will get access to the project's tab and all other project features (calendars, statistics, discussion forums, reports, etc).
    • The "Edit Task Level" access right lets you set privileges in regards to the creation, modification and deletion of tasks. There are many access levels, from basic read only level to full control. Click here for more information about these access rights.  
  • Click on a username to change his/her access rights or un-assign him/her.
    • By un-assigning a user from a project, he/she will be un-assigned from all tasks (both assigned and to review) within that project.
  • Click on the "Assign to a project" link to assign the user to another project.
