Creating a new project

Creating a new project#

wsman sysman sysadmin

In Allegra, a project corresponds to a workspace. You model subprojects with sub-workspaces. To create a project at the top hierarchy level, you must have the system role “system administrator” or “system manager”. To create subprojects, it is enough to have a workspace role with project administrator rights in the parent project. You have three options for creating a new project:

Every project is of a particular workspace type, from which it inherits many of its configuration settings. By configuring workspace types, you can centrally change the configuration of all dependent projects or workspaces at any time.

  • Creating a project completely from scratch

    Because every item must be assigned to a workspace or project, you can only use the system once at least one such workspace has been created and you have a role in it with the appropriate rights.

  • Creating a project by copying

    Because every item must be assigned to a workspace or project, you can only use the system once at least one such workspace has been created and you have a role in it with the appropriate rights. You can create a new project by copying an existing one.

  • Creating a project from a template

    You can create a new workspace based on a workspace template. The procedure is the same as copying a project.

  • Registering team members

    Before anyone can collaborate on a project, they must be known to the system as a user. A system manager can carry out the registration. If self-registration has been enabled, users can also register themselves.

  • Assigning roles to team members

    Before anyone can do anything in a workspace or project, they must be assigned at least one role for that workspace. Roles are tied to permissions such as being allowed to change items or to create new items.
