Note
- Projects, the all-new projects experience, is now available. For more information about Projects, see "About Projects."
- You can only create a new project (classic) for an organization, repository, or user that already has at least one project (classic). If you're unable to create a project (classic), create a project instead.
Warning
- You can change a team's permission level if the team has direct access to a project (classic). If the team's access to the project (classic) is inherited from a parent team, you must change the parent team's access to the project (classic).
- If you add or remove project (classic) access for a parent team, each of that parent's child teams will also receive or lose access to the project (classic). For more information, see "About teams."
Giving a team access to a project (classic)
You can give an entire team the same permission level to a project (classic).
Note
If a person has multiple avenues of access to an organization project (classic) (individually, through a team, or as an organization member), the highest project (classic) permission level overrides lower permission levels. For example, if an organization owner has given a team read permissions to a project (classic), and a project (classic) admin gives one of the team members admin permissions to that board as an individual collaborator, that person would have admin permissions to the project (classic). For more information see, "Project (classic) permissions for an organization."
