Associations are used to give VSys users rights to a project and control which projects show on each user's list of projects. (Associations are only relevant when VSys Security is enabled.)
Right-click on the project's name from the Projects panel on the VSys One main screen, then select Setup and then on General.
Project owners  | 
Project owners automatically get full rights to the project.  | 
Project team members  | 
Team members get no special rights to the project, but the project will appear on the user's list of projects.  |
