About Users

The term user is a shortened form of the full reference to a user access account. To illustrate this concept, you might have a P6 personal name of msmith. You are user msmith with all the permissions set by an administrator for your user account on the User Administration page.

The Users page allows you to add and remove users, assign global and project profiles to users, set resource access, and assign or remove access to projects and P6 EPPM modules. For example, you can assign a user an Admin Superuser security profile, giving them read/write privileges for application-wide information and features, or you can assign a user no global privileges. You can assign module access in order to restrict user access to only the modules you want them to use, and you can use the project access tab to assign responsible managers and give them project-level security profiles, such as Contributor.

Notes:

To assign a user the Admin Superuser profile or to copy and paste a user with the Admin Superuser profile assigned, you must be logged in as a user who has Admin Superuser rights.
When you copy a user the user's settings are copied. The new user will have the same Resource Access, Global Security Profile, Project Access, Module Access, Global Preferences, User Interface View, Dashboards, Activities Toolbars, Activities Views (including multiple user views), EPS Toolbars, EPS Views (including multiple user views), Resource Assignment Toolbars, and Resource Assignment Views (including multiple user views) as the copied user. The user's Associated Resource, email address, Phone, and View Preferences are not copied. If the users view is grouped by global security profile or user interface view and you select a different grouping band before pasting a copied user, the new user will be assigned with the global security profile or user interface view corresponding to the grouping band you selected.
