Disable Force Check-In Option and Deleting Tasks

[RQ]

1) How do you prevent users from having access to the Check in My Project
option on the Project Center menu?

2) When a user deletes a tasks in My Tasks - I do not see the behavior
described in the Help file where "After your status manager approves your
delete request, an indicator is displayed next to the deleted task on your
Task Center page."

3) Are the deletes supposed to remove the task from the MS Project plan?

RQ --

1. There is no permission that you can disable to prevent PMs from checking
in their own "stuck" checked out projects. I don't understand why you
consider this a problem, since your PMs won't have to rely on the Project
Server administrator to do it for them.

2. The Help article is wrong. Don't believe everything you read from
Microsoft! The actual behavior of the system is after deleting a task
on the My Tasks page, the system formats the name of the deleted task with
strikethrough text. When the PM actually approves the Delete Assignment
Request, the system removes the deleted task from the user's My Tasks page.

3. When a user deletes a task on the My Tasks page and the PM approves the
deletion, the system removes the resource from the task in the Microsoft
Project plan. It DOES NOT delete the task; it only deletes the resource
assignment on the task.

Hope this helps.

Dale,

Thanks for explaining the delete function - the question on the force check
in is related to a Team Member who has this option - not a Project manager -
and I am being asked to not make this option visible to team members if
possible.
