Administrator's Permissions

[Jermyca]

Is it possible as an administrator to view all of a resource's information,
such as their status reports? Also, is it possible to update timesheets for
a project as an administrator if you are not the project manager? If the PM
is out, we need to update.

Thank you.

1. The Project Server administrator cannot see the Status Reports page for
anyone other than him/herself. Sorry.

2. To take over as the temporary manager of a project when the PM is away,
refer to the following FAQ:

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. So, there isn't a way to update
the project through PWA if the updates have already gone to the PM?

The steps in the FAQ will redirect the updates to the temporary manager,
even if they have already been sent to the original manager. Hope this
helps.

What we do is while the PM is out, go into Manage Users, change the
logon to Project Server logon and change the Windows Acount name to
their real name, logoff, logon as them, accept the time, then put them
back to windows auth.
When you do it this way, you don't have to set a PW for project server
logon
