Problem with "My Tasks" again

[Aroh Shukla]

Hi all,

Last week,

1) I had created a project (using Project Professional) and Published to
Project Server 2007 using "ADMINISTRATOR" account. Obviously, under "My
Tasks" there are NO Tasks created as its admin account.

2) Team members CAN VIEW the tasks on their home page and CAN UPDATE tasks.

Today I again deleted the all the projects (Testing purposes). Then I
created exactly same steps which I did to create a project.
To my surprise:

3) For "ADMINISTRATOR" account, there were 5 tasks were created (which
should NOT be the case)

4) And more shockling is that Team member members CANT SEE ANY TASK AT ALL .

I dont know, why its creating tasks for ADMINISTRATOR but it should create
tasks for team members.
Can somebody advice?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Aroh Shukla

Hi Aroh,

Verify that you are using enterprice resources from the build team tool
(CTRL-T). Double-check that the tasks are properly assigned to the resources
using the "assign resources" -tool (Alt-F10), do not type the names in.

The project owner is the default owner of all task assignments. If you are
using generic resources or have a problem in resource assignments, Project
will fall back on the default owner - which in this case would be your
administrator account.

Hope that helps,
- Jussi

Hi Jussi,

I followed these steps last week:

0) PWA site, Logged in as "ADMINISTRATOR".
Project Center >> Project (Opened in Project Professional 2007)
1) In "Project Proffesional 2007" Tools >> "Build
Team for Enterprise" and then selected the my resources. (Windows account,
not GENERIC account)

2) Ensured that the booking type for each resource is set to "Committed"
and not "Proposed"
3) Tasks are properly assigned to the resources using the "Assign
Resources". I did not type in the names.
4) Filled in Project Detials with associated resources. (Like Aroh, Alex).
5) Saved and Published.
6) Logged in as "Aroh". I COULD SEE TASKS. and "ADMINISTRATOR" has no tasks.

After to double check the system, I DELETED ALL THE PROJECTS and followed
the EXACT SEQUENCE of steps. (0-6 steps).
But, in this case
6) Logged in as "Aroh". I COULD NOT SEE TASKS and if I logged in as
"ADMINISTRATOR" CAN see 5 tasks which is utterly confusing.

Please advice me.
Thank you.

I remember reading this now. It does seem you've done everything the way it
should be done. Debugging this any further without actually seeing the system
will likely be very difficult.

The only other thing I can think of is double checking the resource center
to see that the resources' default assignment owner is the resource himself,
not admin.

Are you running the latest cumulative updates in dev and production? I know
you mentioned the problem only manifesting in your production environment so
testing if a CU fixes it would be tricky.
