Managing Projects

Managing Projects

System administrators can view the list of all projects on the server. The administrators can also delete unnecessary projects. For security reasons, if a system administrator is not a member of a project, then he/she will have no read or edit permissions on the project's contents.

For all projects, the system administrator can see the project name, creation date, creator, administrators and category.

Viewing All Existing Projects

Using this option the system administrators can view all project names and project owners on the server.

To view projects:

1. Click on System Admin,
2. Click on Projects.

2. Only when you "Delete" a logically/previously deleted project again, the project and all its contents will be physically deleted (irreversibly)!

The current lifecyle of a project is shown in the column "Status" of the System Admin -> Projects screen:
