A project profile defines a set of privileges for access to project-specific information. Project profiles are assigned to users based on the OBS hierarchy. To control access to project-specific information, you create project profiles, and then assign specific OBS elements and associated project profiles to individual users. When P6 Professional is connected to a P6 EPPM database, you do those tasks using P6. The assigned OBS element determines the EPS and WBS elements for which the user can access project information. The assigned project profile determines the type of access privileges the user has to that project information.
All WBS elements must have an assigned responsible OBS. If a user's project profile assignment includes a WBS element's responsible OBS, then the user can access all activities and issues related to that WBS element. Similarly, all thresholds and project issues also have an assigned responsible OBS. If a user's project profile assignment includes a threshold or issue's responsible OBS, then the user can access that threshold or issue.
When P6 Professional is connected to a P6 Professional database:
The module does not require that each user have a profile for every project. However, unless a user's global profile is Admin Superuser, that user cannot access a project without a project profile. See Admin superuser. To allow complete access to a project/OBS assignment, the module includes a project profile called Project Superuser. You can apply the Project Superuser profile to as many users and for as many projects as you like. See Project superuser. Only an Admin Superuser can apply the Admin Superuser profile to a user.
