Project and Program Administration Overview
Project and program managers (also known as project and program administrators) are responsible for creating and managing projects and programs hosted by a parent organization. The capabilities of project and program managers are nearly identical.
Project and program managers control the project and program configuration, and control the membership in their project and program teams within the confines of a specific project or program application context. They control access to project and program information; they define the schedule, resources, and plan details, and monitor and manage the project and program activities.
Project application contexts are online work areas used to collect information that teams need to track, collaborate, and manage as well as plan work activities to meet a specific objective. Project contexts are defined by project creators who are authorized by the parent organization. Projects inherit templates, roles, user-defined groups, and policies from their parent organization context. The project manager can also define project-specific templates, roles, and policies.
Program application contexts provide a central area to link together information, people, and plans for a series of projects. Program contexts are defined by program creators who are authorized by the parent organization. Programs inherit templates, roles, user-defined groups, and policies from their parent organization context. The program manager can also define program-specific templates, roles, and policies.

By default, programs are hidden. To make programs visible and available for use in your Windchill solution, a site administrator can set the value of the Display > Hide Program preference to “No”. This preference is available from the Preference Management utility on Site > Utilities. For more information on using the Preference Management utility, see About the Preference Manager.
For general information about context contents and how to create contexts, see Contexts – Distributed and Hierarchical Administration.
