Manage Access to a Project
On this page
You can grant Atlas users and teams access to Atlas projects. Assign user roles to enforce permission levels for Atlas users and teams.
To perform any of the following actions, you must have the
Project Owner role.
Add Users or Teams to a Project
To invite a user or team to a project:
Adding a user to a project also adds that user to the organization.
Atlas limits the number of teams to a maximum of:
- 100 teams per project and
- 250 teams per organization.
Atlas also limits Atlas user membership to a maximum of:
- 500 per project and
- 500 per organization, which includes the combined membership of all projects in the organization.
Atlas raises an error if an operation exceeds these limits.
You have an organization with five projects. Each project has 100 Atlas users. Each Atlas user belongs to only one project. You cannot add any Atlas users to this organization or any project in that organization without first removing existing Atlas users from the organization or project membership.
Navigate to the Access Manager page for your project.
- If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
- Select your desired project from the list of projects in the Projects page.
- Click the vertical ellipsis () next to your project name in the upper left corner and select Project Settings.
- Click Access Manager in the navigation bar, then click your project.
Click the Users or Teams tab.
Navigate to the Grant Access page.
- Click Manage.
- Click Grant Access.
Add an Atlas user or team.
Enter the new user's email address or Jira username, or an existing team name.
If the console finds a connected Jira account, Atlas invites the user to the Atlas project. If the user accepts the invite, that user is added to the corresponding Jira group.
If you want to grant access to a new team, you must first create the team.
- Press Enter or click on the email address, Jira username, or team name.
- Repeat for any additional users or teams.
Select roles for the new user or team.
By default, each user is given the Organization Member role. To change or add additional roles for each user or
team, click on the role dropdown menu, then select the checkboxes for
each role you want the user or team to
have in the project.
All team members share the roles assigned to the team on this project.
Click Grant Access.
Atlas sends an email to the selected users inviting them to join the project. Invited users do not have access to the project until they accept the invitation. Invitations expire after 30 days.

View User Invitations
The Users tab lists any outstanding invitations to users to join the project and any requests from users who want to join the project. A user can request to join a project when they first register for Atlas.
Individual users are ordered by status. They appear in the following sequence:
- Users currently in your project.
- Users with pending invitations to join your project.
- Users requesting to join your project.
Atlas displays the Name of users who have not accepted their invitation as Pending User and their role as --invite sent--.
To cancel an invitation, click to the right of the user's name.

Projects must have at least one user or team. You can't delete the last member (user or team) from the project. You must instead close the project.

team) remaining in the project. You must first assign the role to at
