Planio is powered by Redmine and as such it offers the same great possibilities to make Redmine projects public on the Internet. You can choose whether your projects should be accessible to anyone – without the need to login, including search engines – or whether you'd like visitors to sign up first and leave their email address. You can also choose to manually confirm signups or confirm them automatically by sending an activation link in an email.
Sounds fun? Follow this guide to learn how it's done.
A public project on on your Planio powered Redmine account is essentially that: An open project that is available to the public.
Normally, only the explicitly named members of a project in Planio can access it and outsiders cannot see what's going on. Let's change that! Here's how:
Congratulations! You now have a public project.
Would you like to make all projects public by default? No problem:
Next, we'll learn how this change impacts your project and who will now be able to access it.
Now that you've made your project public, let's see how this changes the access permissions to it.
Please navigate to your avatar -> Administration -> Roles and Permissions for a moment. You'll see two special roles in addition to your own individual roles which you can define yourself:
Click on the Non-Member role to pull up its permissions. What you configure here will govern what any user in your Planio account will be allowed to see and do in your public projects.
Specifically, this means that you won't have to add users to this public project anymore to give them access to it. Any user who does not have a specific role in the project automatically gets the permissions set in the Non-Member role. Users who are members in a public project will have get all permissions from both the Non-Member role and their explicit membership roles combined.
