There are two cases when activeCollab will automatically add people to projects as they're created:
- When a blank project (ie not based on a previous template) is created. In this case activeCollab will add everyone who's marked to be automatically added to new projects and set their permissions accordingly. If you don't wish someone to be automatically added to all new projects, go to that person's profile, click the Change Settings link on the right and make sure that the Automatically Add to New Projects option is set to No:
- When a project is created from a template, all users that were part of the original project (that the new project is based on) will also be automatically added to your new creation. Please note that people with the Automatically Add to New Projects option set to Yes (as described in #1) will not be added to the project (unless they happen to be involved in the project you are using for the template).
In this way you can assigne people to projects much faster. With a few Project Templates and list of people who should always be on one of your projects you could save a lot of time.
