The Project Administrators group is the primary administrative security group for a project, with members authorized to do the following tasks:

  • Delete or rename a project
  • Add users and teams to a project
  • Manage Area Paths and Iteration Paths
  • Organize shared query folders
  • Adjust group memberships, including adding members to the Project Administrators group or other project-level groups
  • Control permissions at the project level and for project-defined objects

To add users to the Project Administrators group or change a project-level permission see Change project-level permissions.
