Set the project lead and design lead

Give two people on the team lead roles, which control drawing approvals and the Monday project report.

Who can do this: admins and managersUpdated

Each project can have a project lead and a design lead. You choose them when you create the project, and you can change them at any time.

Before you start

  • You need permission to edit projects.
  • The person must already be on the project team.

Steps

  1. Open the project and click Settings, then People.
  2. Choose Team.
  3. Click the chevron next to a team member (Set role).
  4. Choose Make project lead or Make design lead. To take a role away, choose Remove as project lead or Remove as design lead.
  5. Click Save changes.

Studio admins can do everything in this table on any project.

Good to know

  • In the new project wizard the two leads must be different people. In Settings you can give both roles to one person.
  • If a project has no project lead, only studio admins can approve its drawings at Lead review.
  • Removing a lead from the team does not take away their lead role. Use Remove as project lead or Remove as design lead first.
