Share an object and grant financial permissions

Consider the following when granting financial permissions to objects:

  • You can grant financial permissions to projects, tasks, and issues.
  • Permissions can be inherited: if you have View General Finance permissions to a project, you automatically inherit View General Finance permissions to the tasks and issues on the project.

To grant financial permissions to an object:

  1. Go to a task, project, or issue that you want to share with others.

  2. Near the name of the object, click Share.

  3. In the Give <Object name> access to field start typing the name of a user, team, role, group, or a company that you want to share the object with.

    note tip
    TIP
    You can share an object only with active users, teams, roles, or companies.
  4. Click the drop-down to the right of the user’s name and select one of the following options:

    • View
    • Contribute
    • Manage
  5. In the same drop-down menu, click the advanced options icon next to the permission level, then do one of the following:

    • If you selected one of the three options in the previous step, make sure View Finance is selected.
    • If you selected Manage Finance in the previous step, make sure Manage Finance is selected.
    • For any permission level, select View billing rates, View cost rates, and View general finance as needed.
    • For Manage permissions only, select Edit billing rates, Edit cost rates, and Edit general finance as needed.
  6. Click Save.
