To join a project you can see but aren’t a member of, open it from Project management > Projects and click the Join project button at the bottom.

Alternatively, you can always find the Join project option in the project sidebar in the More actions tab.

You can also click the eye icon in the upper-right corner of the project and confirm with Yes, join the project.

If you decide to leave a project, this is the same place you want to go to.

📌 You can’t leave a project you manage. Assign a new project manager first.

By default, Admins, Managers, and Profitability Managers can view and join all projects. Coordinators can view all projects, but they can’t join them: someone else needs to add them.

To join a project, you need both the View all projects and the Add, edit, and delete projects permissions. To leave a project, you need Add, edit, and delete projects.

Users with Staff permission set can only see projects they've been explicitly added to.

📌 If you want to limit project visibility for Admins, Profitability Managers, Managers, and Coordinators, create a custom permission set.

Create a new custom permission set without the "View all projects" permission, then assign it to the relevant users.

📌 Example: Suppose you want Managers to have limited project access. Start with the Manager permission set and remove the View all projects permission.

Now, users assigned this custom permission set won’t automatically see or join all projects — they’ll only access projects explicitly shared with them.
​

📌 Tip: To simplify access management, tweak the users' permissions and group them into teams.

For example, instead of adding individual users to multiple projects, create a Managers or a Design team and add the team to every project they need access to. This ensures consistent access without manual adjustments for each user.
