Make Redmine Projects Public on Planio¶

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.

What is a Public Project?¶

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:

1. Find your project or create a new one
2. Navigating to Settings -> Information in your project
3. Check the box next to the Public label and click Save

Congratulations! You now have a public project.

Optional: Make all Projects Public by Default¶

Would you like to make all projects public by default? No problem:

1. Navigate to your avatar -> Administration -> Settings -> Projects
2. Check New projects are public by default
3. Click Save

Next, we'll learn how this change impacts your project and who will now be able to access it.

The Anonymous & Non-Member Roles¶

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:

• Non-Member and
• Anonymous
