Global and Project Security Profile Settings in Primavera P6

During the configuration of a Primavera P6 EPPM system, one of the main tasks is to develop the access privileges for all the different users. Users in Primavera P6 require two different profiles to control what they can do in the system; a Global Security Profile and a Project Security Profile.  

Profile Options

The options are numerous with 64 global security options and 54 project security options to choose from. Primavera P6 ships with a number of pre-configured profiles including Project Manager, Resource Manager, Read-only rights and so on.
