Organization administration establishes the shared rules and catalogs that projects use.
Best for: Organization Admins · Requires: Organization Settings and, where applicable, feature-specific permissions.
- Open the organization menu.
- Use Roles and Permissions to review who can administer and use each capability.
- Use Organization Settings to maintain shared lists and defaults.
- Use Global Directory for companies and people, not for operational settings.
- Open an individual project and use Project Settings only for project-specific choices.
Changing a role changes authorization. Changing Organization Settings changes organization-wide configuration. Neither action changes a person's personal notification preferences.
