Prevent Team Members having permission to edit projects they are not part off
- Nov 08, 2021
Hello jenyalex ,
The default permission group and categories for Team Members does prevent those users from editing projects, if the user is only a Team Member they will only be able to view those projects where they are added to the project team. The default Team Member group has just the My Tasks category added. The Team Member group category permissions for My Tasks doesn't allow edit access:
You mentioned you are testing with a admin user who is impersonating, there are certain differences in what is / isn't displayed when using the delegation feature when the admin user is a global admin or site collection admin. Have you tried logging in and testing directly as a Team Member user rather than via delegation?
Paul
If the person using the Delegation feature is a site collection administrator, then the Delegation features DOES NOT work as designed. The system applies site collection administrator permissions during the delegation session, and not the permission for the person being impersonated. That would explain why you are seeing the problem. Hope this additional information helps.

Hey Dale_HowardMVP ,
This happens if the user is a global admin or site collection admin (I mentioned that in my reply
).
