Apart from a standard Project Manager (PM) role, there are other roles that are available to a user, in XTM Cloud. They are called Limited Project Managers (LPMs), and there are two of them:
...
The above-mentioned roles differ from the standard Project Manager role in the sense that, unlike the latter, they do not have full control over almost the whole XTM UI panel since, as their names suggest, each one is preconfigured quite differently and covers different aspects of the overall XTM Cloud project management. The next section describes their scope of capability in detail.

IMPORTANT! Keep in mind that the Limited Project Managers roles are the only user roles in XTM Cloud that can be customized on the back-end side by the XTM Support team! |
