Collaboration Access Levels
The following matrix describes the default permissions
for each access level and Collaboration component.
By default, all objects within a project inherit the default
project security settings. You can override default project security
and define object-level permissions for each role. If default project
security is enabled for the object, you cannot change the access level
settings. (As with any security system, permissions are defined in
a hierarchy; Admin permissions include Edit permissions, Edit permissions
include Write permissions, etc.)
