Project Workspace Permissioning

[Ben]

I have created some Project Workspaces and users are able to access them
fine. However, I created some additional lists on them: 1 List for tracking
equipment and it is done in a datasheet view. The other one is a document
library.

In both cases, Team Members are not able to edit the lists. Now, I know that
by default, you do not get the contribute list permission unless you have a
task assigned, but I need all Team Members to have Contribute rights. So, how
do I accomplish that? What server permission can I give or how can I
work-around this?

Two options I can think of:

1) As part of your new project workspace creation process you update the
permissions levels for "Readers (Microsoft Office Project Server) so they
have the same permissions at the "Contributor" group. This would be a one
time change for each new project workspace under Site Actions>Site
Settings>Advanced Permissions>Settings>Permission Levels
2) You assign the Team Members security group in PWA to "My Organization"
(or some category with full access to all projects) and assign the
permission "Save Project to Project Server". Setting this permission should
add all your team members to the Project Managers (Microsoft Office Project
Server) SharePoint permission group for all project workspaces. Be aware
this might give Team Members excess rights to save the project schedules in
Project Pro but if they do not have the "Log on to Project Server from
Project Professional" global permission enabled then you are most likely
safe.

Hope this helps,
