Groupshare projects are getting more and more common from one of my clients, but there's just a little issue with that: as a rule the project settings are much more limited, not to say non-existent in the Groupshare projects I receive, so I usually have to ask them to manually allocate a certain role to me for that specific project to make it look "normal".

Groupshare projects are getting more and more common from one of my clients, but there's just a little issue with that: as a rule the project settings are much more limited, not to say non-existent in the Groupshare projects I receive, so I usually have to ask them to manually allocate a certain role to me for that specific project to make it look "normal".

With these extremely limited options, I can't for instance change the lookup settings for TMs, nor change the QA settings, nor use the "Any TM" feature. All TM adding options except for file-based are greyed out.

I suppose the idea is that the PjM makes the necessary settings for the job and that's that, but this is not in tune with how we work in practice, and that seems to rule out any freedom for experienced users, which of course can be relevant for very client-specific requirements, but disabling virtually all settings seems a pretty clumsy way to ensure this. Is this a common occurrence or do I have some obscure setting in my software that blocks the normal settings?
