Hi,

I've got a few Project files set up running on the project
server. In these are resources that are grouped under
generic terms - eg. 4 brickies. I would like to be able
to get the brickie supervisor to log on and deploy tasks
from the generic resource to specific resouces.

I realise if I give the supervisor all the tasks to begin
with he can do this, but

1. I don't know then how to take the task back off the
resource to reallocation and
2. If the brickie supervisor is also looking after say,
the trainees as well, I don't want him to get confused
about which are trainee tasks and which are brickie tasks,
or have to log in twice.

Can anyone help?

Ingrid

Hi,

You need to do the following:
1. Allocate a skill to each resource using Enterprise
Outline fields. You allocate the same resource to the
generic resource as to the actual resource (you can now
separate your brickies from the trainees).
2. Ensure that all of the resources are available to the
plan.
3. Run the resource substitution wizard from the Tools
menu. This will do a one to one swap for any available
resource that has the same skills as those in the generic
resource.

You cannot give and take back rights on the desktop
system. All of the security surrounds the web site and
specific bespoke VB code will have to be added to
specific functions if you need this.

Access is all or nothing.

Please contact me on (e-mail address removed) if you need
any more help.

Thanks
