Out-of-the Box Permission Profiles
The following profiles are provided by PPM Pro and represent a minimalist approach to profiles. Note that you can further streamline the profiles: for example, you want to grant a certain user/group/unit permission to create ALL types of entities, you can condense the four "Create" profiles into one that contains a Global rule for each entity type. This is how we configured Admin for Project/Portfolios/Assets, for example. The Team profiles are for use when granting permission to specific entities; global profiles profile give the specified permissions to all instances of the selected entity type. See Rule Types for more information.
