Cannot assign tasks to myself

[stephen wood]

How can I assign tasks to myself and see them on PWA?

I'm trying to get a test environment up and running to demonstrate the
capabilities of Project Server 2002 w/ Professional 2002.

I have everything installed correctly (I think).

I can logon on to PWA when already logged onto my domain.

I am listed as 3 users
1-Stephen (project server authentication, added via a resouce on a project)
2-Stephen Wood (windows authentication)
3-Stephen Wood (project server authentication, added via a project resource
from outlook contact list)

I have given myself tasks on projects (as 1 & 3 above).

When I logon to PWA, I do not have any tasks as I guess I am automatically
being logged on via my windows authentication account.. How can I give
myself tasks so that I see them on PWA?

Thanks

Stephen,

It sounds like you are logging in to your Windows User Account, which is
happening automatically. What you will need to do to see those tasks
assigned to 1 and 3 in your list is log off within PWA and log in using
either of your PS accounts. Then you ought to be able to see your
assignments.

Thanks Steve. That works. But how can I become a resource as me, logged on
to my windows domain. Does this require assigning me as a resource from
Assign\Directory\AD Domain Users? We are not using AD yet.

Stephen,

You need to be in the Enterprise Resource Pool with an account having the
value Windows User Account set to your logon account. Then you can assign
activities to this resource, which will go right into your timesheet. Works
in Windows NT domains as well as AD.
