Every project in Ruddr must have at least one assigned Project Admin. The Project Admin is a project team member who is responsible for project configuration and administering time and expense for that project. In most companies, the Project Admin is set to the workspace member who is managing the project on a day-to-day basis, however you may decide to assign these responsibilities to other workspace members. You can determine the Project Admins for any project by simply clicking on the Team tab (Figure 1) of the Project Dashboard. The Project Admins will have a green icon next to their name on the member card.

To change the Project Admin on a project, your must have the Edit Project permission on your security role and must have access to the project. The Team section of the project’s Settings tab will allow you to add or remove team members as well as set team members to active or inactive. To set the Project Admin from this screen, simply click the action menu (Figure 2) on that member and choose the Set as Project Admin option.

Note that Ruddr’s security roles can apply project-level permissions based on whether or not a workspace member is the Project Admin for the project. For example, if a member is the Project Admin for a project, the member may have expanded privileges to that project but not have those privileges on projects where the member is not the Project Admin.

Specifying Additional Project Admins

There may be instances where you wish to specify multiple Project Admins on a project. Perhaps you have a non-billable, operational-focused member in your workspace that will take on administrative duties, or you wish to split some project administration duties amongst two billable team members. You can set additional Project Admins from the Team section of the Settings tab by using the same Set as Project Admin action (Figure 2) on each member you wish to make an admin. Ruddr will ask you to confirm the change. To remove the role from a member, choose the Remove as Project Admin action instead. Note that every project must keep at least one active Project Admin, so the last remaining admin cannot be removed or deactivated, and an inactive team member cannot be set as a Project Admin.
