Possible to password-protect Server project plans?

[CrazyOnU]

Is it possible to password-protect project plans after they're published to
the Server? It appears that when my users select password protection and then
publish, the password protection is removed during the publishing, so that
any user with Project Manager rights who can see their plan can check it out
to modify it.

Is this the case? Are there workarounds (aside from limiting access through
security groups, which has already been explored)?

These users are very concerned that someone else in their PMO might
accidentally edit their plan and would like a technological solution, if
possible.

TIA,

Gilbert,

Password protecting individual plans is not possible with project server. Sorry. Not sure if there is any built-in "technological solution" to your problem.

I found the term "accidental editing" pretty interesting since to actually publish edits to a plan back to the server would take a considerable amount of unconcious activity to be able to be completed accidently. Publishing updates to a plan is intentionally a deliberate process and generally no accident.

The only way to deal with this right now is as a training issue and make sure people know that they shouldn't be messing with anyone else's project plans.

Earl,

Thanks! That's what I suspected, but needed independant verification in
order to present to my users.

Appreciate your help,

Gilbert
