Shared project whose users I can’t see

Question

Some of our users are observers on a project, but for that project, Users, Roles and Permissions… is greyed out. Is this a special kind of share? I seem to remember something about a new kind of share, but I can’t see it in the list of new features of either 7.5, or 7.6.

The “Users, Roles and Permissions…” item should only be disabled for
resource projects. The File > Print Draft option should also be disabled in
this case and some others.

This has happened for some projects that started as revisions of a resource
project.

New ways of sharing resource projects is part of Paratext 8 - just getting
started on this.

I have seen at least one situation where a user had clicked on the Tools > Advanced > Create Resource Text option. What this does it to put files needed to install a resource in C:\stdtexts. When you install this resource using Project > Install Resources it overwrites the settings of the original project with a resource version (the original sfm files are not lost – they just no longer get accessed). If most of the options under the Project menu are grey then it is probably a resource.

This project was acquired via Send/Receive, so I think the situation is a little different from the one you describe.
