Yes. Granular permissions are available in the Portfolio Financials and Capital Planning products in Procore.
Important! This feature is not available by default and must be enabled for your account. If you are a Company Admin, you can reach out to your Procore point of contact or the Support team to request granular permissions.
Granular permissions for Portfolio Financials and Capital Planning act as exemption permissions, removing capabilities rather than adding them.
Example
A project may have a Project Manager and an Assistant Project Manager or Project Engineer. While the Assistant Project Manager or Project Engineer usually has similar permissions to the Project Manager, they may not need to create and delete projects in Procore. This is where a Company Admin can remove the 'Add Project' and 'Delete Project' granular permissions from the relevant users.Considerations
- Only Company Admins can adjust another user's granular permissions.
- Granular permissions cannot be used for Company Admins.
- Only users with a company connection (those who appear under Our Team) can have their permissions set at a granular level. They must either have 'Full Access' to a project or 'Building' access.
