What is a Project Manager?
Project Manager is a role that allows you to give access to the archive, manage cloud instances or reach the support for a Project. There are 3 kinds of Project Managers, depending on your company role on the project:
- As a Client Project Manager, I can view and manage (add/remove) all the accesses on my project.
- As a Project Manager from a Main System Integrator, I can view accesses from my company and from the client's company, and manage accesses only from my own company.
- As an other Project Manager, I can view and manage accesses only from my own company.
For a given project, there must be at least one Client Project Manager and one Project Manager from the Main System Integrator.
How to manage Project Managers
Only Client or Main System Integrator supervisors are able to add or remove a Project Manager.
