• All Portfolios: Users in this group can add portfolios and configure or delete all portfolios.

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 at least Projects with Logged-In User as Project Manager.
• 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 Change Log icon in the right sidebar to open the Change Log. Learn more in the article, The Change Log.
