The project profile page lets you view the basic project settings and manage the project team. 

Project Team

The project team is created automatically when the project is created. The user who created the project is added to the team and is assigned the Project Admin role. A new user group [Project Name]-team is added to the project and granted the Developer role.

  • Each individual user that is added to the team on the project settings page is added to the [Project Name]-team user group. This assignment adds the new user to the list of Assignees for issues in the project.
  • If you add another user group to the project team, this group and all its members is granted the Developer role in the project and is added to the list of Assignees.

For more information, see Manage the Project Team and Manage Assignees.
