Workspace Manager Roles Should See All Projects
Rok Kogovšek
Currently Workspace Admins can see all projects in the Workspace Project page, while Workspace Managers only see assigned (including their created) projects.
Considering that Managers can create projects, is there a good reason to not present all Projects in the Workspace Project page?
Is it related to the Project dropdown menu being too crowded? Could we separate the logic between the dropdown and Workspace page? I would suggest showing in the dropdown only assigned/invited projects, while the page would show all project, similar as in ShotGrid.
Having the managers see all projects would reduce a lot of redundant communication for invitation in our company, since managers could simply assign themselves to projects.
For example, if a lead artist with Manager role forgets to invite a co-manager in the same team to a team project, the other manager currently needs to get in contact with the busy lead or busy admin and waste time instead of just finding the project themselves.

The Workspace Manager was created and configured that way in response to requests from other customers, and they would be very unhappy if we changed it, so we would have to make a way to change it just for your account.
Honestly, roles/permissions is one of those things where no matter what you decide, someone is going to want it a different way. As an artist's tool we've been trying to avoid having intimidating ShotGrid-style fields of checkboxes, but I suspect that we may end up having no choice but to do that for roles and permissions (and notifications) someday.

That is understandable, but like you said in the long run an adjustable (checkbox) permission system would be best due to differences between studios.
