Problem: Team Leads Cannot Delegate Tasks

[slant_6_swinger]

Hi,

How do I set up Project Server security & RBS for a Team Lead group so they
can delegate tasks?

We have a team lead group in our company that needs to be able to delegate
tasks to others within their departments. When attempting to delegate a task
they get an error message saying they do not have permissons to see the
assignments of other resources. The Team Leads can access the "Delegation
option from the View My Tasks window, but cannot see anyone else in their
department to delegate a task to.

We have an RBS defined and Team Leads are generally on "leaf nodes", while
the Resource Managers are on the next up root node. The Team Leads group is
assigned to the My Projects & My Resources security categories. Assign
Resource, View Enterprise Resource Information gategory permissons are set.
Delegate Task, Build Team From Enterprise global permissions are set.

I thought about creating another root node between the Resource Managers and
Team Members but Leads Need to be able to delegate tasks to other Team Leads
so this probably would not work.

It sounds like the PDS is going to be a prohibition to your assignment
fluidity requirements. You may be better off not using it for security
purposes as it does not understand a "peer" relationship. It forces a
construct whereby managers see below, not across.
