How do I enable "Overwrite actual work entered by resources" optio

[DAR_Wpg_Canada]

We have just rolled out Microsoft Project 2003 and Microsoft Project Server
Web Access (PSWA).

The PMs have been using Project to administer two test projects. We have
found that if you use Project to enter a resources time (as the PM), and then
publish the project and have the resources (people) enter their time on tasks
using PSWA, the actuals entered by the people overwrite the actuals entered
by the PM.

However, if the PM enters their time through PSWA, and updates the project
using PSWA, the changes he makes stick.

We discovered in the forums here that in Project, you can select

Collaborate menu
Publish choice

In the Publish dialogue box, it was suggested that we use the

"Overwrite actual work entered by resources" option

However, for us, this option is disabled.

How can we enable this option? Is there some setting or permission
required? I'm an admin in PSWA, and all perimssions are turned on for admins
in PSWA. Is there some setting in Project 2003 I need to set?

Aha. In PSWA, the admin can under PWA settings "Time period settings"
choose
"Non Managed Periods - Allow Project and Project Web Access users to
update actuals."

When used in conjunction with the publishing above, you can overwrite
the workers time as a PM. Any time they have entered that is
outstanding is wiped out though!

So you'll have only exactly what you yourself put in!
