Can Project Access Role Level Security be Linked with a Workgroup

We are using Role Level Security to provide specific users with access to specific projects (Group Type A), which works.  However, this configuration requires us to update the role level security with each job that is created.   Is there a way to associate role level security with a employee workgroup, rather than an individual user?

Hello,

I was just working on Project Restriction Groups yesterday.  It was a little tricky, but I did get  them working and can provide the step-by-step instructions, attached. It worked just as SRoberts29 describes. Good luck!

Hello @markagnew ,

We can’t connect Roles to a WorkGroup and we can’t use Row-Level security to connect Projects to Work Groups.

Restrict Employees functions on the projects will prohibit employees who are not listed on the Project Employees tab from entering Time, Project Transactions, and Activities for the project.

Restrict Employees on Project

To connect Projects to WorkGroups would require some customization.  Please consider adding your ideas to the Ideas section of Acumatica Community so we can vote for enhancements.  Thank you.

@markagnew - you can set up Project Groups - and assign them to a Project Restriction Group. Then every time you set up a project, assign it to a Project Group right in the Projects screen. No need to update your Project Access Group with every new project.
