New project settings in OpenProject administration

You will find the following options on this page:

New projects are public by default: Check this option to make new projects public by default when they are created. If this is unchecked, all new projects will be private by default and will have to be marked as public manually.

  • Default enabled modules for new projects: The checked modules will be enabled by default when a new project is created. Project admins can enable or disable specific modules later.
  • Role given to a non-admin users who creates project: The default role you want to assign in the project to the user that created it (if this user is not an instance admin). By default, the default role is ‘Project admin’.

Once you make your modifications, click on Save to apply the settings instance-wide.
