Access Projects

When you log on to Polarion, the first thing you normally see is the Repository Home page. (At least this is the case in a default installation. Depending on the way your Polarion administrator set up the system and your system permissions, it is possible you could see something different.)

As a developer, you need to access one or more Projects. In order to do that, you need a Polarion user account, but you must also be assigned a role in each Project you have access to. Project roles are assigned by a Polarion administrator. (See Configure User Roles). Once you are set up administratively, navigate to the Project you want to work on.

The projects managed with Polarion are listed in the All Projects tab of the Open Project or Project Group dialog box. Depending on how projects are organized in your system, the project you are seeking may be a top-level node in the dialog box, or it may be under a project group or even a Project Sub-group. (You should be familiar with the organization of your system. For more information, see Access Projects.)

When you locate the project in the Open Project or Project Group dialog box, select it and click OK. The project's Home page begins loading in your browser. You can either wait for it to load so that you can review its information, or you can immediately begin navigation to the Work Items topic or any other topic in the Navigation pane.

Note:

Some Polarion systems may be configured to run multiple Polarion servers, and you may be assigned to projects hosted on different servers. On such systems, when you log on you can select which server you want to log onto:

While working in a project on one server, you can switch to a project hosted on a different server. In the topics view of Navigation, click the current project name, and then click Open Project or Project Group. In the dialog box, the available servers are listed under Switch to Servers.
