Projects

Projects are one of the two ways for organizing Users in SampleDB. For Object Permissions, a project acts as a single entity with members of the project sharing the permissions granted to it up to the permissions they have for the project itself.

Users can be members of any number of projects, leave the projects they are in or invite other users if they have GRANT permissions for the project. Members with GRANT permissions can also remove other members or delete the project as a whole.

A project can be a subproject of another, sharing the parent project’s permissions with the members of the subproject.

Projects may be best suited for those who want to model their object permissions in SampleDB according to an organizational hierarchy. For a simpler approach, see Groups.

Comparing Groups and Projects

Feature	Groups	Projects
Members	Users	Users and Groups
Hierarchy	Flat	Nested, Projects can contain Subprojects
Object Permissions	All members get the Object Permissions granted to the Group	Each Project member has a permissions level (Read/Write/Grant) for the Project and will get Object Permissions granted to the Project up to that level
Member Invitation	Any Group member can invite new members	Project members with Grant permissions can invite new members
