How to Make a Project Read-Only

Project Administration

Overview

This article describes the procedure for making a project read-only.

When a project becomes read-only, team members assigned to the project will not have the ability to add, modify, or delete artifacts, comments, or attachments. However, they will retain the ability to create trace links with the existing artifacts in these projects.
