Additional Permissions
In addition to the permissions of your assigned user group, users are also assigned ownership of any project, task, discussion, account or documentation they create. Ownership can affect who can delete or view an item, or who can edit certain metadata assigned that object. For example, project owners have the ability to delete or update the status of a project they started. Task owners will receive notifications when a task is updated or commented upon.
