Issues not displayed on USER's HOME PAGE in EPM

[Ivor Davies]

We have a large project here within our organization.

Issues are being assigned to both internal and external resources /
consultants.

The external consultants have DOMAIN user accounts and access EPM via a
remote extranet.

When an issue is assigned to a user they receive an email, but the issue IS
NOT DISPLAYED on the USER's HOME PAGE in EPM.

What could be causing this?

Is there anything that I should check (configuration)?

Please advise..

Thank You.

Ivor:

The users need to have access to the issues and risks for that project in
order for the homepage pulls to work. In other words, they've explicitly
been added or have an assignment in the project.

Gary - sorry to be such a pain - but where do I set this?

Is it in CATERGORIES or in SECURITY TEMPLATES OR both?

Please advise..

Thanks!

You have a choice:

You can accomplish this by giving users a trivial assignment in the project
You can accomplish this through groups and categories. Specifics depend on
your security scheme.
You can add them directly in SharePoint administration
