Problems with resources in web client in Project server 2003

[Bill]

In the web client tool, I added a resource to project
server from the admin screen. Next, I gave the user the
correct permissions to all appropriate areas. I went to
build a team from the projects area in web client and the
user I just entered was not there. I added the same
person in project professional through the enterprise
resource pool and it worked. What is the difference
between the enterprise resource pool in project
professional and the users section on the admin page of
web client? Shouldn't they accomplish the same task?
Does the Web client have access to the outline codes for
the users?

Bill --

The Enterprise Resource Pool contains all of the resources in your
organization who are available to perform project work of any type. If you
enter a resource in the Enterprise Resource Pool, then a user account is
automatically created for them in Project Web Access. Doing this would save
you some time. It is possible for a resource to only have a user account in
Project Web Access. A good example of this would be your company's
executives, who are not available for project work and only use Project Web
Access in a supervisory role. Thus, you would not enter executives in the
Enterprise Resource Pool, and would only create a user account for them in
PWA.

In the Resource Center, you can select a resource and then click the Edit
Resource Details button to edit the enterprise resource outline codes for
the selected resource. Hope this explanation helps.
