Hi Jeremy
Just come across your post.
The Project Initiator and Contributor should be defined as User Groups in
your Settings>User Management>User Group Management. By default these two
groups are included in the Project Info entry form, along with Project
Manager.
If they are not there you can add them, make sure you spell them correctly.
These are really ROLES because they define what users are allowed to do in
the product. But they do not contain a list of users - that association is
done later.
To assign a user to a role/group, use
Settings>User Management>User Management
Edit or Add a new user (this can be an application login - specific to
Portfolio server, or a Windows login, so it inherits your Windows environment
userid.
Next - to associate a user to a group you use the 'Organisation Rights
Assignment' table shown in this tab, and select the group/role that the user
will be a member of specific to the portfolios available in the application -
a bit convoluted, so just select the top-most portfolio and it will inherit
the rights for all children.
This fancy rights assignment allows the same user to have many different
'roles' for different structures in your system - but it causes lots of
headaches.
