OK, I'm gonna try one more time for a response....
I'm attempting to put all the security permissions back to default
within Project Server 2003.
For the life of me, I don't know for sure whether the category
permissions are grounded just on the security group, the security
categories themselves, or both. If I just had an entity relationship
model in front of me......
The Administrator's Guide on page 313 lists the Category Permissions
(not global permissions) for Project Managers. At the same time, it
states that Project Managers belong to both the My Organization and My
Projects security categories by default.
Likewise, page 329 lists a single Category Permissions list for My
Projects. The fact is, when you open the My Projects category, the
category permissions settings are different, depending upon whether you
cursor is on Project Mangers, Resource Managers, or Team Leads. So,
then, are the category permissions "hard-wired" to the Groups then and
the Category settings are just for the view access?
If I'm just totally and completely missing something here /
misunderstanding, please let me know, but the Project Server Security
Default Security Settings in Section D of the Administrators Guide to
me seem difficult to rely on, especially given that some of the default
values in the guide are different than the default values in the
templates (which I haven't changed to my knowledge).
Plus, the Guide appears to indicate all the data view rules that COULD
be applied to the categories, for example, to My Projects, but doesn't
tell you which ones are checked out-of-the-box.
Dale / Gary, I DID buy y'alls book, "Administering an Enterprise PMO
using Microsoft Office Project Server 2003", but I let someone borrow
it in another department and it hasn't been returned (I've asked for it
to be returned). Could you please help me out a bit here so that I
don't have to buy another one just to figure out the correct
out-of-the-box security defaults (respond directly to my work email if
you wish)?
I'm trying to ensure I'm at a "baseline" before studying how all the
settings would work together in our current Prototype installation of
Project Server 2003. We're going to use this installation in the
interim as we look further into the possibility of a "real" deployment
with the 2007 versions of the products (including Portfolio Server
2007).
Thanks so much,
