What is a Project Position?
Project Position is another word for Profile but it is specific to how a resource is working on a single Project, not just their job title.


Where does the Project Position come from to start with?
Initially, if the Resource is allocated to work on the Project from Resources > Planning > Scheduling, their current Profile will be used.  If the Resource has "Grant Access" used the Profile is selected manually from a drop down list.


Examples of when you may need to update a Project Position:
- If Grant Access was used and the wrong Profile was selected, it can be updated.
- If a Resource changes roles / profiles since originally being allocated to a Project
- If a Resource is working on a Project in a different capacity to their current profile (e.g. normally they are a developer but for one project they need to log time acting as a technical consultant).


How to update a Project Position?

You should be able to find the user in one of two places:

Project > Admin > Project Users

2) Double click on the Resource to see the General Information tab
