What can I do with the Source Module?
The Source Module brings code repositories directly to your activeCollab projects. With the Source Module you can:
- Browse your code in activeCollab.
- Compare versions of submitted files.
- Download files in their original format.
- Gain insight into the history of your code repository.
- Make a connection between your commit messages and Tasks in activeCollab.
At the moment it is not possible to use the Source Module in our Cloud environment due to technical limitations of the platform (for example, you need to clone your Git repository on a server to be able to make a connection).

Just like any other part of a project, access to the Source Module depends on activeCollab Project Roles and Permissions. Following this rule, your users can have four levels of access:

- Access and Create - Users will be able to add new repositories.
- Access, Create and Manage - Users with this permission will have unlimited access to all repositories.
