Redmine: can newly created subprojects inherit the members from the parent project?


I'm not sure if this is the correct StackExchange site for this, so I apologize if it's not.

Is it possible to create subprojects in Redmine and have it automatically inherit the member permissions from the parent project? If I've got User A as Manager and User B as Developer on the parent, I'd like it to automagically set that up on the new subproject.

I've searched high and low and can't find a way - internal or plugin - to do this.

Thanks!


Solution

  • That's actually very simple: All you have to do is to go into the administration panel, display the list of projects, find the parent project and use the copy button to create the sub-project. On the next page you can configure your project, pre-filled with the values of your parent project, and have some more options like copying members.

    Of course this works only on creation - once you created the sub-project and you change one project, you'll need to change the other one as well. Fortunately, working with groups makes it very easy (configure access for groups, not users).
