We are hoping to release in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Our users have been pushing for project permissions for a while now. Among the use cases where having fine-grained project permissions is going to be a big win are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restrict access to project that require a specific level of clearance (e.g. government projects, department of defense, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Accommodate requirements by certain clients that only a specific set of pre-approved individuals is allowed to take part and manage their projects.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the visibility of the breadth of clients and projects of external contractors or freelancers brought to the organization.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the visibility of new joiners that are still in their probation period.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is on the most pure permission == restriction front. However, having fine-grained project permissions is also going to allow us to do a number of interesting things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create dashboards in which a users can quickly review all the projects they have been involved in lately.<\/li>\n<li>Create dashboards in which Technical Directors can quickly see a breakdown of projects for each team member.<\/li>\n<li>Quickly identified who has been working with who, and how long ago (useful for 360-degree feedback and evaluation).<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in all, this is a big step forward in the right direction and while we would normally wait to have a handful of new features before producing a new release we think this is important (and useful) enough to warrant its own version of the tool.<\/p>\n<h2>More information<\/h2>\n<p>If you are not a <strong>Dradis Pro<\/strong> user <em>yet<\/em>, you can read more about <a href=\"http:\/\/securityroots.com\/dradispro\/painless_reporting.html\">painless 1-click reporting<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/securityroots.com\/dradispro\/plugin_manager.html\">merging tool output from your favorite tools into a single report<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/securityroots.com\/dradispro\/testing_methodologies.html\">delivering consistent results<\/a> with our tool. <a href=\"http:\/\/securityroots.com\/dradispro\/pricing.html\">Get a license<\/a> and start <a href=\"http:\/\/securityroots.com\/dradispro\/#testimonials\">saving yourself some time<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next release of Dradis Pro will introduce a long standing feature request: fine-grained project permissions.
