By default so far, Users added to the Project have full access if not controlled using Security Role. So here’s a simple tweak to restrict some users from having full access on Projects!

Enable Permissions in Projects

Given that you have correct Sys Admin rights in Project Operations, here’s how you can enable Permissions on a Project –

1. Navigate to the Settings area in Project Operations.
   
   
   
2. Look for Feature Control in the ribbon and drop down, you’ll see Permissions on Project control.
   
   
3. When you turn this one, note that it cannot be turned off later. And this is a System User level change.
   Also, here’s the link mentioned in the message: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/project-management/access-control-on-task-grid?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5003911
   
   

Permissions Settings

Now, in a Project, you can navigate to any System User and see the below –

1. Navigating to this user, I can see the below option in the ribbon button.
   
   
2. And I see only 2 options – Full or Read-only.
   By default, they are all selected for Full permissions. So this setting gives you option to set as Read-Only on the Project.
   

This was a small tweak but useful if you want to be careful with too many resources having access to the project for editing where shouldn’t have to from the permissions/security role standpoint.

Thank you!
