Workfront Project share

Hi team ,

Issue Overview

We recently encountered an issue in Adobe Workfront where users were unable to view a project, even though everything appeared to be configured correctly.

 Scenario

  • A project was created by a user who belongs to:
    • Parent Group: International
    • Subgroup: INTL MKT GROUP
  • The user’s Home Group was set to INTL MKT GROUP
  • The project was also created under INTL MKT GROUP

The project was shared with three users who were also members of the same subgroup.

Problem

Out of the three users:

  • ✅ One user could see the project
  • ❌ Two users could not see the project

This was unexpected because:

  • All users belonged to the same subgroup
  • The project was correctly aligned to that subgroup
  • Sharing permissions were applied
  • No filters were restricting visibility

 Resolution

When the two affected users were additionally added to the parent group (International):

  • ✅ The project immediately became visible to them

 Key Observation

Even though:

  • The project was assigned to the subgroup
  • Users were members of the same subgroup

👉 Access was only fully enabled after adding users to the parent group

 

Help with this case provide the answer

Thank you for the well-organized detail. Question: Do all three users have the same access level?

Yes all three has same access level in standard and same sub group also

I’m re-reading and seeing that the only thing that was different was that two users were once part of only the subgroup. But once they were added to the parent group, all was right. That strikes me as a bug and worth reporting to support.
