• You need to give permission for each and every user to this Ansible Tower node and to this directory — /var/lib/awx/projects
• It won’t be effective when you deploy Ansible Tower as multi-node cluster as you need to update the playbooks and project files in every node, under /var/lib/awx/projects
• Less control on editing playbooks or files as you have to do everything from CLI (mostly Ansible Tower nodes installs on nodes without GUI)
• Other users can easily access other projects and files if you didn’t configure your directory properly.
