Virtual project participants
If a user is a member of a team that participates in a project, but the user is not a participant of the project, the user can see team tasks assigned for the team, and be assigned such tasks. Additionally, such a user can view the project and all of its tasks.
Consider the following scenario.
*
Don is a member of the Major Accounts team.
*
The Major Accounts team has Members can accept team-assigned tasks enabled.
*
The Major Accounts team is assigned in the Members column of the Handouts - design workflow task for the Fall 2007 Tradeshow project.
*
Don is not a project member for the Fall 2007 Tradeshow project.
Even though Don is not a member of the Fall 2007 Tradeshow project, he can view and update the Handouts - design task, by navigating to his All My Team Tasks page and selecting the Handouts - design task. In this case, Don is a virtual participant for the Fall 2007 Tradeshow project, and can view all of its project and task information.
