Security profiles determine a user's level of access to project information. The security profiles include both global profiles and project profiles. A global profile determines the user's access to application-wide information. A project profile determines the user's level of access to each project within the Enterprise Project Structure (EPS).
When connected to a P6 EPPM database: When you assign a project profile to a user as defined in P6, you also associate the project profile with an OBS element/responsible manager.
When connected to a P6 Professional database: When you assign a project profile to a user, you also associate the project profile with an OBS element/responsible manager.
The user's access privileges, as defined in the project profile, will then apply only to those elements of the EPS that are assigned to the OBS element/responsible manager you selected.
