Manage Group Access
The Roles page in the group profile lets you view and manage the permissions that are available to the members of a group. It provides a centralized view of available roles, their scope, and the projects or organizations where they apply. Group members inherit permissions based on the roles that are assigned to the group in one or more projects.
You can also use groups to grant group members access to a project by adding the group directly to the project team. For more information, see Add Groups to the Project Team.
View Access Permissions of a Group
The access permissions for a group are displayed on the Roles page in the group profile. Here, you can view which roles are assigned to the group.
The list displays each role assigned to the group and the projects in which the group is granted this level of access.
The sidebar displays the set of permissions that are assigned to the selected role.
