Permissions on projects according to roles

R

Robert

Hello,
How can we set (in Project Server 2007) different permissions for the same
user, according his role in each project: Team Member in one or two
projects, Project Manager in another one... ?
Thanks for your help.

Assuming that you have not changed any of the default permissions in Groups
or Categories, then the solution to this problem is pretty easy. Ask your
Project Server administrator to do the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions.
2. Click Server Settings - Manage Categories.
3. Click the My Projects category to open it for editing.
4. In the Projects section, DESELECT the "The User is on that project's
Project Team" option.
5. Click the Save button.
6. Click Server Settings - Manage Groups.
7. Click the Team Members group to open it for editing.
8. In the Users section, add all of your Project Managers to the Team
Members group.
9. Click the Save button.

Let me emphasize to you that if you have changed the default settings in
Groups and Categories, then the above solution may not work, nor will I be
able to troubleshoot why it does not work. Keep in mind also that the above
changes will only affect the permissions shown in the Permissions grid for
the overlap between a Group and Category. For Global Permissions in the
Team Members and Project Managers group, the system will calculate the
CUMULATIVE state for each permission using the following hierarchy of
permissions:

- Denied permission trumps both the Allowed and Not Allowed permissions
- Allow permission trumps the Not Allowed permission.

Hope this helps.
