Change a User's Permissions in the Project Directory
Objective
To change a user's permissions in the Project level Directory tool.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Directory tool.
OR - 'Standard' or 'Read Only' permissions on the Project level Directory tool with the 'Manage Permission Templates (Assignable Only)' granular permission enabled on your permissions template.
- 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Directory tool.
- Additional Information:
- If you have a large number of Procore users, we recommend that you use permissions templates instead of editing each individual user's permissions. See Manage Project Permissions Templates.
- Users with the appropriate permissions can alternatively follow the steps in Change a User's Project Permissions Template in the Company Directory.
- Once you change or set permissions for a user, the change in permission will be effective immediately the next time they log in or refresh the page.

Notes:- Depending upon your company's business type, Procore provides a number of default project permissions templates that you can apply. See What are the default project permissions templates in Procore?

Manually Manage the User's Permissions on the Project
If you would prefer to manage the user's project permissions manually (this is only recommended if you have a smaller number of Procore users in your environment), do the following:
- In the Project Permissions Template drop-down menu, select 'Do Not Apply a Template'.
- Choose the option buttons to define the permissions you would like the user to have for each project tool.
Note: For more information on what each permission means, see What does each permission level mean? For a full list of actions within Procore and what permissions you need to accomplish these things, see User Permissions Matrix - Web and User Permission Matrix - Mobile.
