Setting the project permissions of users and groups
When a project is created, a set of permissions defined through a permission template is applied by default. You can update these permissions provided you're a project admin.
If permissions are synchronized automatically in your system, you cannot update them manually. See If permissions are synchronized automatically below.

Updating or resetting the permissions of your project
You can update the permissions manually or reset them by applying a permission template defined by the System Administrator.
To update the permissions of your project
- Retrieve the project.
- Go to Project settings > Permissions. The Permissions page opens.
- To apply a permission template:
- Select the Apply Permission Template button in the top right corner of the page. The Apply Permission Template dialog opens.
- Select the template you want to apply and select the Apply button.
- To update the permissions manually, select a check box on a user or group row to change the respective permission.
If permissions are synchronized automatically
Project permission synchronization is enabled if you use GitHub, GitLab, or SCIM's automatic user and group provisioning mode in SonarQube. In that case, you cannot change the project permissions of auto-provisioned users. However, you can remove the permissions of local users (Local users are all the users who are not managed through the automatic provisioning process, i.e. manually created users and through another identity provider Just-in-Time-provisioned users.).
