Hi Michael,
....from the Project Server 2003 Administrators Guide
"Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) is an Enterprise Resource Outline
Code that is saved in the Enterprise Global Template. It is typically
used to define lookup table values based on the management reporting
structure of your organization, although it can also be structured in
other ways. RBS can be an important element in your Project Server
security model when it is used to define the reporting relationships
among users and resources in your organization. When you specify values
for RBS for all resources in the Enterprise Resource Pool, you can take
advantage of the security rules that can be defined for each security
category.
Security rules use RBS codes to determine which projects and resources
particular users can view or access."
With that said, an RBS that is based on a functional organization
structure (org chart) can offer additional security in what users/groups
can view when added to a category in Project Server 2003.
For example in a Category under Resources you could have the following
enabled
Category Resources
Rule Allow users in this category to view information for all
resources in projects that they manage
Description If a project manager creates a project that includes ten
resources, that project manager is able view the information
for those ten resources.
In regards to a sample RBS, you can do an RBS based on an Org chart, or
geographic location
