Company wide Project Management with user rights

1

Hi all,
having used Coda for >6 jears now, I recently introduced it into the company.

I’m trying to create a Project management doc, which has all our external and internal projects so we can allocate them to the right persons and keep track of document links, collaboration of users, task management, etc.

My question is: I want everything visible for upper management, but I also want the people who are involved to do work on any project to get notifications when things happen in their project or when they’re assigned something.

No, I don’t want non-management people to see and be able to edit every project or to be able to go crazy in the Project Managment doc. How would I go about this?
I have thought about creating a different doc with a hidden sync page, but notifications would then probably lead them to the source page, not the shared doc with the sync page.

What do you think? Anyone who has done this before?

I would make a master projects doc, where only the management and admins have access and a doc per project/team/department, where data travels in both directions with Cross-Doc two-way sync.

In this way users can only interact with the projects synced to the docs they are given access to and the management keeps the overview in the master doc.

One thing to take into consideration: Row comments are not synced via Cross-doc, which can be annoying depending on the use-case.

Hope this helps!
