Assign a Project Permissions Template to a User in the Company Directory

Objective

To assign a project permissions template to a user in the Company level Directory tool.

Background

Project permissions templates are used to create a set of permissions that can be assigned to multiple users. Many companies choose to create permissions templates based on the needs of different roles in their organisation and across their collaborators.

After you've created your project permissions templates in Procore, you can assign those templates to users from either the Company or Project level Directory tools. This article shows you how to assign templates to users in the Company level Directory.
