When you add team members to a project, by default you can make that person
an owner, admin, or normal user. Owners and admins have access to all the
projects in the account, whereas normal users can see only those projects to

access and permissions. ProofHub also comes with some team-management
features, which it refers to as groups.

them would go a long way to making ProofHub more pleasing to use.
That said, many conveniences are built in, such as the ability to reorder tasks by
dragging and dropping them and creating dependencies between tasks in a
Gantt chart by dragging a little circle that appears from one task to another.
Another area for improvement is how you move between projects. If you want
to switch projects (something project managers and team leads do all day long),
there are two ways to do it. First, you can navigate out to the Projects page,
choose the project you want, and select which tab within the project you want to
open. The other way is to use the Jump To button or keyboard command. The
button is at the top-left corner, or you can press Command+J. The current page
darkens, and an overlaid window appears where you can select a project; once
again, you have to choose a tab within it. No matter which method you use, it
still takes three steps when it could be one. We’d prefer a list of projects in that
left column—when you chose one, it would open to either a default tab or the
most recent one you were viewing.
