Projects in different Procore company accounts can be connected. The names of the project do not need to match.
Currently, a downstream project can only connect to one upstream project. A downstream can NOT connect to other upstream or downstream projects. However, an upstream project can support multiple downstream projects.
If a General Contractor is the upstream company they can have multiple downstream projects belonging to their subcontractors.
However, if a subcontractor works with another subcontractor, they cannot serve as the upstream project and connect with another downstream project.
Connection Manager is a Project level tool within Procore where project connections can be initiated and managed.
A connection can only be initiated by a downstream project.
By default, anyone with current 'Admin' permission to the Connection Manager tool, and added to that project's Directory will receive a notification. If you want different users to be notified, you can configure the email notification distribution list in each project's Connection Manager settings. See Connection Manager: Configure Advanced Settings.
Users notified of new connections, disconnections, and connection request activity (if review is required). The following events will trigger a notification:
Either the upstream project and downstream project can disconnect at any time. Current capabilities limit a downstream project from reconnecting to an upstream project as well as connecting to any new upstream project if you disconnect. See Disconnect a Connected Project.
No. Once the connection is created, the permissions of the downstream user in the upstream project are not related to the connection status. If an upstream company wants to stop the connection, they can disconnect the projects in the Connection Manager tool. See Disconnect Connected Projects.
