Identifying permissions table in project server

[S.S. Ahmed]

Hi

My Project Server (machine 1) crashed last week. I have done a fresh
installation on a new machine (machine 2). Most of the data has been
recovered and transferred to the new machine. Now i am creating users (more
than 100) in this new machine but i am tired of manually setting the
permissions for each user. Is there a way to copy the permissions from
project server db on machine 1 to project server db on machine 2?

Please help.

Thanks,

-SSA

Hello SSA -

You should not be setting permissions for each user. Each user should
belong to one or more groups, and each group belongs to at least one
category. Do you have groups and category permissions assigned?

I think that Bogdanov and Associates offers a tool that transfers
settings, including security, from one instance to another. You can
find them at http://www.bogdanov-associates.com/eng.asp?rubr_id=476

Hope this helps,

PWA ease of security management:

1. Add users to groups

2. Add groups to categories

3. Never modify users by adding/subtracting permissions

4. Never add users directly to categories, always add to a group, even if it
is a one person group

If you do this, user administration is a snap. You deviate from this,
you'll never be able to sort out "ALLOW", "DENY" and "blanks" inheritance.
