Add a User to the Plan

Now that we’re in the Shared With form, you can add a user to your plan. Make sure you are in the Users tab of the Shared With form, then type the user's name into the Add User field. Once you type 3 or more characters, matching users will show for selection based on the directory of users in the Resource Center.

Newly added users will be added to the team as a Reader, so adjust the access level as necessary. See Edit User Access Levels for the Plan.

Add a Team to the Plan

You can also add entire teams of resources to plans. Go to the Teams tab of the Shared With form, then type the team's name into the Add Team field. Once you type 3 or more characters into the field, matching teams will show for selection based on the directory of teams in the Resource Center.

Newly added teams will be added to the plan as Readers. so adjust the access level as necessary.

Note

If you add a resource to a team, that user will automatically have access to all plans that have been shared with that team.

Edit User Access Levels for the Plan

To edit a user’s access level, go to the Users tab of the Shared With form. Then click in the Access column for the desired user. Select the access level from the drop-down. Options include:

  • No Access: The user will not have access to the plan, and will not see assigned work items in My Work. The user can be assigned to tasks by the Plan Manager.

  • My Work Only: The user will not have access to the plan. The user will see all assigned work items in their My Work area.

  • Reader: The user has read-only access to the plan. The user will see all assigned work items in their My Work area.

  • Contributor: The user has edit access to the plan. The user cannot delete or archive the plan.

  • Owner: The user has full edit rights to the plan. The user can delete or archive the plan.

What users can access and do with shared plans is dependent on the plan permissions you set, and their OnePlan environment permissions. Higher environment permissions will outweigh restrictions set on the plan level.

We have created a matrix to detail how the environment and share with permissions interact. See OnePlan Plan Permission Hierarchy for more information.

Edit Team Access Levels for the Plan

To edit a user’s access level, go to the Users tab of the Shared With form. Then click in the Access column for the desired user. Select the access level from the drop-down. Options include:

  • No Access: The user will not have access to the plan, and will not see assigned work items in My Work. The user can be assigned to tasks by the Plan Manager.

  • My Work Only: The user will not have access to the plan. The user will see all assigned work items in their My Work area.

  • Reader: The user has read-only access to the plan. The user will see all assigned work items in their My Work area.

  • Owner: The user has full edit rights to the plan. The user can delete or archive the plan.

Check User Permission Levels for the Plan

Because you can add both individual users and teams of users to your plans, determining their level of access/permissions to your plan can be confusing. You can use the Permissions tab of the Shared With form to check the permissions for the users on your plan team.

To check a user's permissions, go to the Permissions tab of the Share With form. Then type in the user's name into the Enter Name field. Once you type 3 or more characters into the field, matching users will show for selection based on the directory of users in the plan's Shared With. Select the user from the drop-down. Then that user's permission level and where those permissions come from show in the form below.
