Disallow access from certain PCs

[Robin Roe]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows a way of controlling what PCs have access to
Project server through the Web Client. Basically we will be using a third
party product (our normal timesheet entry system) for users to input time.
This integrates with the project database. For this reason it was decided
that only certain machines/people need web access and therefore we will only
purchase CALs for these machines. Is there a way to stop the non licenced
machines connecting to Project server, especially as they will still get the
update info emails from the Project server (with the link at the bottom). The
username and password will not stop people either as it will use the same
credentials as they use on the 3rd party software.

Thank you in advance for your help

Robin --

I'm confused about your situation. Are you saying that all resources need
to be in the Enterprise Resource Pool so that you can assign them to project
work, but that some of them will never use Project Web Access? If this is
the case, you can remove simply those resources from the Team Members group
in PWA. In fact, you should REMOVE these particular resources from ALL of
the Groups in PWA. This will prevent them from accessing the system
entirely. Hope this helps.
