You can select three options under the Manage Portfolios right:

• No Portfolios: Users in this group cannot add new portfolios or configure or delete existing ones.
• According to Configured Portfolio Rights: Users in this group can add portfolios and configure or delete those for which they have access rights.
• All Portfolios: Users in this group can add portfolios and configure or delete all portfolios.

Learn more in the Manage User Groups article.

User Rights: Who Has the Right to Edit Which Projects?

Access rights to a portfolio and the Manage Portfolios right are not sufficient for a user to be able to edit the projects in a portfolio. Instead, the following requirements must be met:

• The user needs to have access rights to the portfolio.
• The user needs to be in a user group where the Edit Projects and Program right is set to All Projects and Programs.
• To edit projects in the Plan of Record, the user needs to be in a user group with the Edit Plan of Record right. To edit projects in a scenario, the user needs to have Edit Rights for the scenario.

The Change Log allows you to track which user made what changes when to the projects and programs within the portfolio. Click the round blue button in the top right to display the Change Log. Learn more in the Tracking Changes in the Change Log article.
