Can't see all projects in Project Pro File Open dialog

[oldbradfordian]

I am running MS Project Pro 2007 with PWA 2007.

In MS Project Pro, when I use "File...Open...Enterprise Projects" to access
projects on the server, I only see projects I own.

I need to be able to open other projects, where other Project Managers are
the owners, but only in "Read only" mode so that I can create links between
the deliverables in their projects and the tasks in my projects. Similarly,
they need teh ability to be able to open my projects (read only) to link
their tasks to my deliverables.

How can I open the projects I don't own - I don't need to change them, just
open and link to their deliverables or tasks?

Thanks for any help.

Refer to the following FAQ:

http://www.projectserverexperts.com/ProjectServerFAQKnowledgeBase/OpenOtherProjectsReadOnly.aspx

Even though the FAQ is for Project Server 2003, the steps work for 2007 as
well. Hope this helps.

Never mind. I figured it out. I have a category assigned to the Project
Manager group which allows them to access ALL projects but with Open Project
permission only, no edit or save permissions. This category is in addition to
the category that gives them full permissions for Projects they own.
