NPD Private Project Enhancements

Executive Overview

We have made changes to how we present private projects to non-authorized users. Historically, a private project would appear in portfolios, searches, and other areas throughout NPD. The business process that customers followed was to provide a “code name” so that the nature of the project was naturally hidden.

Now in 6.0 we have taken further steps to hide private projects from non-authorized users. The idea is this, users have the ability to read or view projects marked ‘Private’ if they are a member of one of the following groups:

• Team Leaders – Summary Tab

• Additional Readers – Summary Tab

• Project Owner – Summary Tab

• Team Members – Project Team Tab

• Gate Keepers – Project Team Tab

• Additional Notification – Project Team Tab

• Authorized user of an activity associated to the current Project Stage

• NPD role [NPD_ADMIN]

• NPD role [NPD_SA]

If a user is not authorized the project will either not appear or the information will be obfuscated.

# The Basics

In this section we compare how an authorized user sees information related to a private project and how a non-authorized user sees the same information.

1. User Setup: Set up both users the same so that the only difference is that User A is associated with the private project “Mint Chocolate Burst” while User B is not associated with the project.
