Provide access to request queues
When you provide access to a request queue, you determine who in your organization can view the request queue in the Requests area of Adobe Workfront.
You can provide different users access to a Request Queue, depending on whether they are part of the project team, project group, or project company. You can also provide access to everyone in the system to a request queue.
This is useful in organizations that invite external stakeholders into Workfront and wish to limit the access of users to specific areas — in this case a request queue open just to the users associated with the company or group of the project limits visibility to external stakeholders. Giving access to anyone makes the request visible to both internal and external stakeholders.

Prerequisites

Group queues are useful when several departments share a Workfront account to achieve unique organizational goals. Each department may have its own queues that members of other groups should not be able to see.
For information about who has permissions on a project see Share a project in Adobe Workfront.
Groups and companies can be associated with the project when editing the project. For more information about editing projects, see Edit projects.
