FAQs

Q. What does assigning a Project actually do?

A. Assigning a Project means designating one or more Users to a specific Project so they are linked to it. If your User has the Restricted permission role, assigning them to the Project ensures they will have access to it.

Q. Are Users notified when they're assigned to a Project?

A. Yes, once a User is assigned to a Project, they receive a notification. When they tap on that notification, it takes them directly to the assigned Project.

Q. What is the difference between an Assigned User and a Project Contributor?

A. Once a User has contributed to a Project (adds photos, comments, etc), they will show as a Contributor. Project Contributors, as well as Assigned Users, will be shown in the same area, but Assigned Users are distinguished by a green 'Assigned' label.

Q. If I unassign a Restricted User from a Project, will they maintain access?

A. No. Restricted Users only have access to Projects they create themselves or are assigned to. By unassigning them from the Project, you will take away access to that Project.
