Project Authors

You can define the people who are working on a project, such as the authors of specific elements.

Access Project | Settings | Project Types | People > Project Author(s)

Reference

Field	Action	See also
Name(s)	Type the name of the person registered as a Project Author. If you are using a Windows Active Directory, you can select names from the directory; click on the button to display the 'Select Users' dialog. You can also type a list of names separated by semi-colons; this enables you to define a group of people sharing a role, such as a team of Developers, Testers or Analysts. Do not leave any spaces between the names and the semicolons.	Select Users
Role	(Mandatory) Enter the role the Project Author plays in the project (such as Designer, Analyst, or Architect). You can type a role name or click on the drop-down arrow and select a role defined through the 'Project Roles' tab.	Project Roles
Notes	Type any additional notes concerning the Project Author.

Save	Add the new Author to the Defined Authors list.
Delete	Removes an Author from the Defined Authors list.

Notes

If you enter multiple names, Enterprise Architect adds them separately and in alphabetical order to the 'Defined Authors' list; if you then click on one of these names, Enterprise Architect displays that name only in the 'Name(s)' field
If you type in a role, this is not added to the roles on the 'Project Roles' tab
You can transport these author definitions between models, using the 'Export Reference Data' and 'Import Reference Data' options
