PM managing permissions on its workspaces

[MP]

Since I have a lot of PM's saving and publishing project (and creating
workspaces), I would like to let them manage the permissions of its
workspace, because it's not realistic to have me making changes everytime
they need. I'm not sure if give them Admin permissions on its workspaces will
have impact in its permissions at PWA...

Can you help me?

We found that it is best to manager permissions by establishes security groups.
We have User, Team Member and Leads. ~455 users -- ~130 Lead (Project
Mgrs/Resource mgrs)

All Users get read access to everything
All Leads can basically read/write to any workspace
To become a team member - you need to have a published task. Once this is
done - then the team member can write to the workspace.

Small bit of resistence at first - why can't everybody just upload/write.

For the most part - we've got people understanding that if they need to
contribute to the site - then they should have a task that they report
against.
I still do have a small number of people campaining to just let anyone
contribute to anything.....

If you manipulate the workspace permissions - then at least in our case -
they get reset each night when workspaces synch

Thank Donna, but that didn't answer my questions...
1) Is it possible for each PM administers its workspaces permissions?
2) Does this have any impact on PWA permissions?

(and no, workspace permissions don't reset at nigth in our case)

If you can help me...

I run the PM group
My team gets extra admin (but not all) rights
You could give the PMs rights for workspaces

In our case - I am able to go into Site Actions -> site setting -> and
update Users and Permissions from there.

Here I am able to add rights based on the security groups we create -
readers, project managers, team members.

However - I don't have the rights to create the security groups - I just
specify what I needed.

So I may be of little help to you
good luck!
