Setting up project team


This article is relevant for:

LEADER (Committee and WG officers)

Context

By default, Working Group (WG) experts have READ ONLY access to the online document during drafting and comment resolution stages and WG Convenors, Project Leader and Committee Manager are LEADER.

To know more about each roles and permissions, refer to the article OSD permissions referenced at the bottom of this article. 

During drafting and comment resolution stages ( stages 00.00, 00.20, 00.60, 10.00, 10.60, 20.00, 20.60, 30.00 and 30.60), LEADER can change the default permissions for experts and create a project with  working group members which are involved in the drafting and the resolution of comments. 

Warning

  • Permissions during the NP ballot, WD study and CD consultation (respectively stages 10.20, 20.20 and 30.20) are set by default and cannot be modified by the officers.

  • Known bug for Firefox users: the browser currently blocks the Document permissions management board to open (see next section's screenshot). If you need to manage permissions (Committee officers), please use a different browser like Edge or Chrome.

Access Document Permissions dashboard

The Document Permissions dashboard can be accessed by LEADER from the TOOLS and other actions menu.

Permission type

IMPORTANT:

The list of member your can see is driven by the Global Directory. It list all the direct role on the document. The officers of the TC and SC also have access to the document but they are not listed here because they do not have a direct role in the WG.

Change the role as appropriate by clicking on the respective icons:

grant Author role to selected member

grant Contributor role to selected member

grant Reader role to selected member

The role is immediately updated and the permission type is now set to Manual.

Assign the role of Leader

The role of LEADER is assigned automatically to the Committee Manager, WG Convenor and WG Secretary (incl. support team), and Project Leader. The role of LEADER cannot therefore be assigned from the Document Permissions dashboard.


User role visibility

The same user may have different roles between different online drafts. Your current role is displayed in the top right corner of the online draft.


Switch permission in case of multiple role in a committee or WG

It may happen that the same user has more than one role within the same online draft. In this case, you can change your current role using the following menu : in the Tools menu, click on Other actions and select Change current role. The screen is refreshed once you selected a different role to adapt to the new permissions.

Please note

  • This menu only shows if you do have different roles granting you different permissions for the same document.
