The well-proven role and account-based security architecture allows you to assign permissions without much administrative effort. Responsibilities are thus clearly defined, at the same time making sure that only authorized users gain access to sensitive data.

Role permissions are defined according to the function carried out by each person involved in the project, be it as project manager, team member, customer, partner or any other activity. InLoox PM Web App then assigns the correct permission to each person assuming a given role.

User account oriented permissions apply to all projects. This allows, for example, company management to look at all current and concluded projects, whereas practical responsibility remains in the hands of the project manager and his or her team.

InLoox PM Web App accesses the Active Directory and Exchange accounts so, that the user accounts are created and stored only once. The inclusion of freelance employees, trainees or suppliers is no problem.
