In some situations, you may want to restrict Administrators from accessing a specific project. This can be useful when working with confidential information, protecting sensitive information or supporting compliance requirements.

⚠️ Attention: Only use this setting when necessary. Administrators are typically responsible for overall space management and support.

Space setting: Allow restricting administrator access

Space Administrators can control, at a space-wide level, whether Project leaders are allowed to restrict administrator access to projects.

This can be managed in the Space administration page, from the Space Settings tab.

When the 'Allow restricting administrators from editing project settings' space setting is enabled, Project leaders can disable administrator access for individual projects.

When this setting is disabled for the space:

Project leaders can no longer restrict administrator access.
Administrators will always have access to all project settings and project content.

Default setting

For newly created spaces, the setting is disabled by default.

This means administrators automatically have access to all projects unless the setting is enabled later.

What happens when access is disabled?

By default, Space Administrators have access to newly created projects. As a Project leader, you can disable administrator access for an individual project.

When administrator access is disabled:

The project is hidden from all Space Administrators in the space. It is not possible to exclude specific administrators individually.
Administrators will still see that the project exists in the All Projects list, but it will appear greyed out.
When hovering over the project name, a message appears stating: "Project leader has disabled admin access for this project".
Administrators will not be able to open the project or view its content.
You can re-enable administrator access at any time by following the same steps and turning the setting back on.
