Project Authors

You can define the people who are working on a project, such as the authors of specific elements.

Access

Ribbon

Configure > Reference Data > Project Types > People > Project Author(s)

Notes

If you enter multiple names, Enterprise Architect adds them separately and in alphabetical order to the 'Defined Authors' list; if you then click on one of these names, Enterprise Architect displays that name only in the 'Name(s)' field
If you type in a role, this is not added to the roles on the 'Project Roles' tab
You can transport these author definitions between models, using the 'Configure > Model > Transfer > Export Reference Data' and 'Import Reference Data' ribbon options
