Creating a Project
Projects are created from the Projects dashboard. Only Org Admins and Org Managers can create projects. When a project is created, the creator is automatically assigned as the Project Owner.
Important
Org Members cannot create projects or submit a request to create one. Project creation rights are held by Org Admins and Org Managers only. If an Org Member needs a project, an Org Admin or Manager must create it and add them to the team.
Adding Team Members
The Project Owner invites team members from Project Settings. Internal users (those already in the organisation) are assigned one of the four project roles. External users are invited by email and automatically receive the Read Only role.
