Create tasks, delegate them or edit them without theproject manager or owner approval!

[Asaad Saleh]

I'm working in a web company where our projects are websites and designs I'm the project manager of all the projects and i have them all on Project 2003. we recently installed the project server 2003 and wanted to collaborate with team members.
the problem I'm facing is that i wanted the team members to create their own task if they got one and enter the actual time and then upload it. it seems that they can't, they should get my acceptance first on each task before they can work on it?
second we have team leaders I want them to create tasks and delegate them without my interference. lets say I'm on a vacation or left early how can they delegate a task without my approval on it.
actually i don't want to interfere in the minor tasks going between the team leads and their members all i want is to get them all uploaded at the end to the project file.
any suggestions or help please it is urgent.

Hi Asaad,

In regards to your first question, a user can create and enter time in
Project Web Access, but you as the Project Manager will always need to
approve this time in order to make it visible in your Project Plan. There is
not way arround this in Project Server 2003.

To your second question, you will always need to approve the delegation, but
should you go on holiday you can transfer your project management rights to
someone else, who then can update the information. In short you as the
Project Manager will always need to be involved in task changes, whether they
are new tasks or delegation tasks.
Hope this helps

Thanks I thought we can figure an automatic way where it wont pass by me. but at the end passing by me would me more accurate and safe for the whole project.
thank you again

yes I agree Assad, from a "policing" point of view it makes sense to check.
