Project Server and Windows accounts

[Newbie]

Hello,
WSS demands Windows account.
So when a user is connected with a Project server account, he/she can't
access the Issues, Risks and Documents pages.
What the administrator must do to give such access?
Thanks

Hi Newbie,

The only way a Project Web Access user is able to use the Windows Sharepoint
Services functionality ( Workspace, Risk, Issues and Documents) is when they
have a Windows Authentification.
A Project Server Authentification does not permit Windows Sharepoint
Services functionality. Sorry.

Hi Marc,
Is not it possible to give a resource both Project Server *and* Windows
authentications?

Hi Newbie,
Unfortunately that is not possible. You can of course give a person 2
logons, but Project Server would consider that these are different 2
resources.
May I ask why you want to give a resource 2 separate logon options?

Hi Mark,

<<May I ask why you want to give a resource 2 separate logon options?
The administrator gave the user a Project Server account. Then the user
notices that he/she can't reach the risks/issues/documents pages in PWA. The
administrator must delete the previous Project Server account and create a
Windows account ?
Thanks for your hints

Hi Newbie,

That would be one option. The administrator can also modify the users
loggon, by changing the project server authentication to the windows
Authentication.
I hope that helps
