Project server 2007 - edit proect

A

Arun

Hi,
We are using project server 2007. In our company some resource will be team
member for one project and for another project he will be the project
manager. So we need to give project edit previlage for that resource. How to
avoid that resource should not edit the project in which he is a team member.
But he is able to edit the plan in which he is the project manager.

Tanks in advance,
Arun

Arun --

We addressed this EXACT situation in our Project Server administrators
training class today. Here are the precise steps that you need to do to
enable this:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions.
2. Click Server Settings - Manage Categories.
3. Click the My Projects category to open it in editing mode.
4. In the Projects section, deselect the following options:

-- The User is on that project's Project Team.
-- A resource on the project's Project Team is a descendant of the User via
RBS option.

5. Click the Save button.

The first set of steps will now allow a PM to open Read/Write only his/her
own projects. He/she won't be able to see or open the projects in which
he/she is a team member. Next, create a custom Category by completing the
following steps:

1. On the Manage Categories page, click the New Category button.
2. Name the new Category something like "My Projects as Team Member."
3. In the Users and Groups section, add the Project Managers group.
4. In the Permissions grid for the Project Managers group, set the "Open
project" permission to Allow.
5. Click the Save button.

This new Category will now allow your PMs to see and open Read-Only any
projects in which they are a team member but are not the project manager. I
think this will meet your security requirements very nicely. Hope this
helps.

You are more than welcome, my friend. You are in good company with a group
of my students in Colorado Springs, Colorado! :)
