Build team from Enterprise Resources

Gertrud

When opening an exisiting project from the project server using Project 2003
and trying to build a team I get the following error "you do not have
sufficient permission to add enterprise resources from your project server".
Can someone help please?
thanks, Gertrud

Your Project Server administrator is probably the source of this problem.
If you are a member of the Project Managers group, and the Project Server
administrator has NOT changed the default permissions in this Group, then
you will have permission to add resources. If you do not have that
permission, the Project Server administrator has probably changed the
permissions for that Group, or has changed the permissions of your
individual user account. Ask him/her to assist you with this issue. Hope
this helps.

thank you for yor prompt reply. I am belonging to the PM group, in fact I
have administrator rights. Using PWA I cannot see that any defaults have
been changed unless there are changes made when the prodcut was first
installed. Is this that possible.

Also, I am trying to access the project server with project professional
2003. Is it possible that there is some form of setting for the "front end".

thank you
Gertrud

Here's how to troubleshoot this problem:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click Admin - Manage users and groups
3. Select your user account and then click the Modify User button
4. Write down the Groups in which you are a member
5. Click the Groups link in the sidepane on the left
6. Select a Group in which you are a member and click the Modify Group
button
7. In the Categories section, select each of the Categories to which the
Group has access and make sure that the Assign Resource permission is NOT
set Deny in the Permissions grid (if it is set to Deny, deselect the Deny
permission)
8. In the Global Permissions section for each Group, make sure that the
Assign Resource to Project Team permission is NOT set to Deny (if it is set
to Deny, deselect the Deny permission)
9. Click the Save Changes button
10. Repeat steps 6-9 for every Group in which you are a member

Hope this helps.

Thank you very mich, it works

One last question:
I went to www.msprojectsexperts.com and wanted to purchase your 2 books. I
am Australian and living in Sydney. Unfortunately it didn't accept my cc.
Error: Zip code didn't match?.....
Do you ship to Australia? By the way, what are the shipping costs?

regards
Gertrud
