FAQs

Q: I have added a new user; why are they unable to see any Projects?

A: By default, Projects in Groundplan can only be seen by the person who created the Project.

For your new user to see these Projects, you will need to follow the instructions in the Share Projects section above.

Q: Is there a way to share new Users into all Projects at once, rather than one by one?”

A: Not currently.

Q: When sharing, can I give someone “View only” access to the Project?

A: Not currently.

Q: I am the owner of the business. Can I automatically see all Projects created?

A: This is only possible if you are a registered user in your account, and your Users are using a Project Template, which is set up to automatically share all Projects with you.
