After registration, the user gets access to an account where they can create an unlimited number of projects. What are they and how to manage them?
What are projects?
Projects allow an account owner to grant full or limited access to their dashboard to other users to collaborate on resources.
The projects are of two types:
- Personal project
Such a project is created automatically after account registration, the user has full access to the project. If necessary, it can be shared.
- General project
Projects of this type can be created by a user to provide collaborative work with other users.
The owner is free to add a project member and choose one of 3 roles: owner, administrator or accountant:
- Owner
The role is assigned by default to the account owner, after which he/she can assign it to any other member. This role gives full access to the control panel
- Administrator
Here the user can not add project members and exclude them, as well as influence the role "Owner" (add, delete, transfer, etc.) Otherwise, this role has the same capabilities as the owner.
- Accountant
This role will only have access to tabs with financial information, such as: "Partners", "Billing", "Support" and "Legal Entity Settings". This role can also see all project participants.
Creating a project
After creating an account and/or authorization in the control panel, the Serverspace logo and the personal project created automatically will be displayed in the upper left corner. To share a project, click on the name of the personal project, and select the "Add Project" option from the drop-down list:
Next, you can convert an existing personal project into a shared project, or you can simply create a new one.
Select a name for the project, its logo if necessary, and click create project:
After creating a project, you will be presented with the project settings menu. Next we will look at each tab individually.
