ProofHub launches custom roles feature for enhanced project management

WALNUT, Calif. - Oct. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- ProofHub, a popular project management tool has launched its custom roles feature for enhanced project management.

This will enable businesses to create custom roles for various team members, clients, project managers and others participating in projects. It would allow people to access various features in ProofHub in a controlled manner as per the privileges set and granted to them. Owner of a project is authorized to define custom roles and access for various users in a project. This feature will promote data security as a user will be provided only that data which he needs for doing his work. His access to other project data, which he does not need for work or which is confidential in nature, is restricted by choosing the appropriate access level.

It will also simplify management in an organization as access privileges can be assigned to various persons involved a project through a single action.

By setting custom roles and access levels at the beginning of planning process, a business is able to ensure that people get access to only those parts in a project that are relevant to their work and functioning. This keeps away any chances of project data and information getting tampered, if everyone in a project is authorized to delete or edit them. It also imparts clarity to a project manager about the role of a specific person in a project, sections he can access and what to expect from him in terms of work. So, the manager is able to better manage his team as he is aware of role, activity area and privileges of each and every team member.

Custom roles in this project management tool gives users regulated access to projects, discussions, to-do’s/Gantt, calendar, notes, files, timesheets and other sections featuring in it. So they are more clear about what they can do and what they cannot do while performing their roles and tasks. This helps to avoid any confusion or conflicts that can result from everybody having the same set of privileges and allowed to access, manage every section in a project.

This feature is available for subscribers on this project management tool’s premium $99 and enterprise $149 pricing plans.

“On gathering feedback from a lot of clients, our team came to know that though they found useful the default roles defined in ProofHub project management software, but they still needed the ability to create custom roles due to their varied needs and for improving their planning and management. This concern of theirs spurred us to work in accordance to their needs and so our team came up with custom roles feature. Now businesses can easily define and set roles for their project participants and can regulate their access to various project sections as per their requirement and discretion. It will smoothen their workflow besides boosting their productivity,” commented team ProofHub on the launch.
