Add user option to the People tab in templates

Question

Hi there - What are you using to add new resources to the People tab in a project template? And if this is not available, is there anyone who would like to upvote this?

Hello @beatriceor

For me I tend to leave it. It will automatically bring in people who are assigned to the tasks within the project.

If you want to manually add a user then it wont let you add it at Template level you would need to add it on a project level each time.

For me is what is the use case and why would you need it? If you need someone to have visibility you could always add them as the project sponsor or resource manager etc

Sorry I couldn't be more help

Hi @beatriceor & @scott_goodwin, you can add someone to the people tab of a template just by adding them to any task and then removing them. When you add someone to a task, it automatically adds them to the people tab AND if even if you remove them from the task you added them to, it'll keep them in the people tab (something I don't particularly like and have an Idea out there to change this). Or, you can also modify the project sharing of the template to add users there so that they still can see the project even though they have no tasks assigned.
