A subproject is derived from an existing project (parent
project) but is more specific in scope. For example, you can create
a parent project for SystemA and subprojects for different releases
of SystemA.
About this task
Subprojects inherit the contents of the parent project, but
the contents must be further refined by adding additional criteria.
Likewise, administrators and editors are implicitly inherited. A subproject
does not show inherited administrators and editors unless someone
has explicitly added them.
Procedure
To create subprojects:
- Start an Admin session.
- On the Action Panel, click User Management.
- Click the Project Security tab.
- Click the Projects tab.
- In the Projects section, select
a project.
- Click the New Subproject link.
- In the Name field, type the name
of the subproject.
- In the Administrators field, select
the users who can administer this project.
Administrators
are users who can modify all aspects of the project. The local admin
user (_change_admin) is always considered an administrator,
even if it is not explicitly listed.
Separate the list of users
with commas.
- In the Editors field, select the
users who can edit this project.
Editors are users who
can modify the members and privileges of the project and create new
subprojects. Editors cannot edit the project contents.
Separate
the list of users with commas.
- In the Contents (CRs included in this Project) section,
specify the project contents, and then add the appropriate attribute
name-value pairs to match the CRs.
Attributes within
a row are ORed together. Attributes between rows are ANDed together.
- In the Members and Privileges section,
specify the project members and their privileges.
Each
row grants the list of users or groups a particular role or privilege.
Separate
the list of users with commas.
- Click Save to save the changes.
