What
Default permissions applied to each user automatically when they're added to a project. 
Why
  • Set a baseline permission level for different user groups (internal, external, collaborators) that they should inherit automatically on each project.
  • Reduce time spent managing commonly needed permissions.
Who
  • Site admins (in the owner company) set and manage default permissions.
When
  • You need all internal team members to be able to view tasks and log time on any project they're a member of. Turn those permissions on in the default permissions for your owner company. 
  • You want to hide links and notebooks on projects from external company users — turn those permissions off in the default permissions.
💡 Any additional permissions you need to apply less frequently can be updated on a per-user basis.

The default permissions are updated for the selected group (ex. owner company users). Each time a user from that group is added to a project, they inherit the default permissions on that project.
