Creating a Private Project

FlexNet Code Insight 2020 R2

Security-conscious Project Owners can control access to their projects within the enterprise by setting a project’s visibility to Private. This feature gives Project Owners the ability to hide sensitive information from general view and select specific users who can view the project. The default project visibility is Public, which means that all FlexNet Code Insight users can view all projects. For information about assigning roles, see Assigning Project Roles to Users.

Note • Users who have Administrator privileges but are not part of a Private project can see the project in the Projects list, view the Summary tab for the project, and change the owner of the project.

To create a private project, do the following:

1.

Navigate to the Projects list in the Projects view. (See Opening the Projects View if additional instructions are needed.)

2.

Click Add New. The Add Project dialog appears with default values appearing in all the fields but Name.

3.

In the Name field, enter a name for the new private project.

4.

From the Project Visibility dropdown, select Private.

5.

Complete the other fields as described in About Code Insight Projects.

6.

Click Save to save the new private project.

This project is visible n the Projects list to only the Project Owner and any Analyst, Reviewer, or Observer of the project. Additionally, the project and vulnerability ID searches will not return private projects unless the user performing the search has the permissions to see these projects.

7.

(Optional) Assign roles to users who will interact with the private project. For more information, see Assigning Project Roles to Users.
