Hello Is it possible to have users set up to add/edit project level layouts in P6 without them also being able to add/edit global layouts? Trying to lock down the global data we currently hold without reams of additional global data being generated, and aim to reassign layouts etc to be owned at project level for specific planners to maintain, but in doing this none now have access to edit these project layouts. Is there a way to achieve this whilst at the same time locking down global rights to one or two users? Thanks

    Are you sure you're looking in the right section? Saving Project Level layouts is a Project Security setting and also requies the users to have access to that OBS node. Saving Global layouts is a Global security setting

    Hi all thanks for the

    Hi all thanks for the responses to date. All users have access to respective EPS nodes and all project level security profiles have the functionality for amending layouts at project level enabled, but the option for users to modify project level filters is still greyed out which is causing me confusion. Is there any reason why this would be the case? Assume that project level filters would be editable with these settings enabled? Many thanks

    The issue may be that the filter they are trying to edit, is not related to the projeect currently open. I know in past versions of P^, there was a problem where ALL project filters were displayed regardless of which project was open, but you could only edit the filters associated with the project open, and there was no way of identifying (other than by naming the filter accordingly) to which project they were associated wtih.

    Thanks all. Yes i've checked

    Thanks all. 

    Yes i've checked and the layout filters are specific to the project that is open, so i've got no idea why this option is still greyed out for our users.

    Only workaround aside from re-granting global access is to have them copy project layout filters to user level and amend them there, but that is not an ideal solution.  

    A real head scratcher this one has proved to be!
