Associate or disassociate resources

The management of resources such as namespaces, templates, backup policies, and locations to a project depends on your role:

• Access Manager page: Visible only for the Account administrator. Here, projects and their members, along with other resources, can be managed.
• Projects page: Accessible to both Project administrators and Project users. They can manage resources within their assigned projects. The Access Manager page is not available for these roles.
