Edit a Project Permissions Template

Objective

To edit a project permissions template in the company's Permissions tool. 

Background

In Procore, role-based permissions are used to manage user access to different Procore tools. Access for each role is defined in a permissions template. By default, Procore provides its clients with several role-based project permissions templates. For details, see What is a permissions template? and What are the default project permissions templates in Procore?

If your company wants to modify any of Procore's default permissions templates or if your company has created a new template, follow the steps below to edit permission levels, manage assignable templates, and manage users for a permissions template.

  5. For each Procore tool row in the table, select the button under one of the following columns:
