Multiple managers for projects?

Hi,

One problem we are grappling is after a project is created by a manager, we need other resources to create/ads tasks, add milestoens etc. We assumed that if the resource had an admin level privilege would be able to perform above tasks for any project but apparently not? Is there an easy way to allow more than one person (manager) to edit tasks, milestones etc. in a project?

Thanks much.

Hi Shashank,

Thank you for your question.The Project Manager (https://success.clarizen.com/entries/24128136-What-is-a-Project-Manager-) is only one per project. You can, however, have multiple work items Managers in your work-plan (https://success.clarizen.com/entries/24128713-What-is-a-Manager-) that are responsible for certain chunks of the project.

At the moment, you can assign only one Manager per work item, but we have a feature request on our Product Roadmap that will enable ability to assign multiple managers per work item. Please let me know if you would like me to add you as a customer requiring this feature, so that we can keep you updated on the progress. Here is ID of that feature request for your reference: CR-13158.

As for Admin privilege, Administrator is responsible for system environment settings, while Super User has “super” rights in the project management area (https://success.clarizen.com/entries/24128693-What-is-a-Super-User-). Full licensed users with Super User permissions will be able to perform all project related activities regardless of a role in the project.

All the best,

Diana

In addition, if you need your resources to be able to add additional sub-items, you can achieve this with the system setting 8.4 http://screencast.com/t/zBDt0ud880V.

Thanks Diana. Based on your response, I want to make some users as super users. I am an admin but do not see anywhere where I am make a user a super-user. This link https://success.clarizen.com/entries/24136468-Your-Role-in-Clarizen explains you can achieve it through Settings but I do not see such an option.

Thanks

Hi Shashank,

As an admin you can add Super User permissions either from a user property card or go to People module >> Detailed View >> Gear icon >> Manage >> Add Super User field to your view and then simply toggle on Super User permission for your Full licensed users.
