What are we improving?
On 2 December 2024, we will launch a new permission structure in Runn to enable more granular control of People and Projects.
Under the new permission structure, you can:
Restrict Project Managers' right to add people to projects
Enable Team Leads to only edit specific projects and people
New Admin User Type with Restricted Financial Access
