Project list

The project list shows the projects available to you. Depending on your permissions setup and the project configuration you may not be able to see all existing projects. For example, a Super Administrator can see all existing projects while an normal registered user can only see projects that he is a member of or if the project is explicitly set to "public".

Above the project list you can filter by active, archived and unapproved projects. Active projects are still in progress while archived projects are finished/done. Unapproved projects are projects that have been created by registered users and need to be approved by an administrator first before they become active. However, this may not be necessary depending on how you configured the section (more on that below). Also note that archived and unapproved projects cannot be selected as workspace.
