Although users can be added to projects one at a time using the project admin tools, there is also a quick and easy way to push user(s) into multiple or all existing projects in one go. For example, this would be useful if you are adding a new team member to all existing projects.
Important Notes:
- A new user must be added to at least one project manually, before being copied into multiple others.
- It is important to make sure that the user is occupying their correct role in the template project to ensure that they are added to the others correctly.
- If a user needs to be a co-admin, make sure they are tagged as such in the template project. This access will be copied along with them into the other projects.
First: Add The User to One of Their Projects- Open the project that you want to add the user to.
- Open the Project Admin page by clicking on the red gear icon on the right hand side of your screen.
- Go to Project Users and click the blue button for +Existing Users.
- Search for the user by first name, last name, or company.
- Select the role that they should occupy in the project(s).
- Click Add To Project.
Second: Copy The User to The Other Projects
- Navigate back to your My Projects Page
- Click the 3-dot icon next to the project you added the user to and select Copy.
Helpful Hint: The "Copy" option will only appear if you are the Project Admin in the project, or if you are a Site Admin.
- This will take you to the Copy Project Data screen. The project you selected earlier will automatically be placed in the Copy From area at the top of the page.
- From the Project List area, select the project(s) that you wish to copy the user into.
- Once selected, click the > arrow to move them to the right-hand side under Copy To.
- Click Next in the top-right corner.
- Under the App Group dropdown, select the User Management option.
- Check the box for Users.
- Remove the users you don't need to copy by clicking the X next to their name.
- Click Next in the top-right corner.
Helpful Hint: A summary screen will display to show what has been selected to copy.
- Click Copy in the top-right corner.
- Once the copy feature is complete, a confirmation message will display.
- Check one or two projects to make sure the user has been added correctly.
