I'd like to assign tasks to my resources and would like to have them
update on their tasks. Hence I have to set both the "Resource Name"
and the "Assignment Owner" to the resource's name.
However, how can I see my reource's assignments in the PWA to keep
track among different projects? They only appear there if I'm the
assignment owner.

You need to add the assignment owner column to an assignment view in
Project, and change them there.

[PWA 2007] Resources(Project Member) cant view their tasks?
I just want all my team member able to view their own tasks in "My
Task" and
update their progress accordingly.
Everytime after I (Project manager) publish the project to server,
only me myself able to import and view those tasks which already
assigned to my team member in "My Task". All team member only able to
import(add line) to their timesheet but not "My Task". Thus, I had to
ask each of them about their progress and update it myself.
Is there anyway for each team member to update their own progress?
Check that the "default assignment owner" for each of your team
members is set Check that the "default assignment owner" for each of
your team members is set to themselves.
This is an attribute of the resource and can be changed from server
settings/manage users.

Kuku, as MZ Projects suggest, you can set up the "default assignemnt
owner" Kuku, as MZ Projects suggest, you can set up the "default
assignemnt owner" when creating or editing a resource in PWA.
Just to add to this functionality (I hope I am not making it more
complicated), you can assign the assignement owner of a resource per
project, by going Project Pro > go to the resource usage view, include
the
Assignemnt owner to the view and you can overwrite the default
assignment
owner (especially interesting for material resources etc).
Hope this helps

to be a better way to do this so when resources are assigned, the
default
assignment owner is the person assinged not the PM. Changing each

task is combersome. Is there a way to configure the software? Why
can you
change the field data in the resource view and not in the Gant Chart
view?
Correct me if I am wrong but the email notifications go to the
assignment
owner not the resource assigned, correct?

struggle with
this. I added some users to My active directory PM group yesterday.
I
anticipated them being available to add to a project this morning but
the
scheduled active directory must not have worked. So, I forced it to
sync.
Now here this, those users had their Assignment Owner default as them
selves.
Terrific, how did that happen? Wil it happen again?? The other team
members have blank assignment owners.

You need to edit the resources and set this in the resource record.
Then it will apply to all new assignments. You can't change history,
though, so existing assignments need to be changed one at a time.

interpitation of your response. I know how to edit the user resource
in PWA
serversettings and make the defaut assignment owner the resource. Can
these
changes be done all at one time? Can I set some configuration so that
any
new user I add gets this setting default to his name instead of
blank??

Re: [PWA 2007] Resources(Project Member) cant view their tasks? Brad:
The best way to do this is to select all the resources in question and
open them to edit sequentially in Project Web Access. You have to do
each resource individually, but the system at least opens each one in
succession after you edit each one. The blank default assignment owner
problem occurs when you create resources by importing them. This is a
know bug in th system which I expect will be fixed in SP1.
Re: [PWA 2007] Resources(Project Member) cant view their tasks? Gary,
In your response to this thread you said: "existing assignments need
to be changed one at a time". What way do you recommend changing
numerous existing assignments (tasks).?
