In the future, please post your Project Server questions in the
microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup, as this newsgroup is dedicated to
the Microsoft Project desktop application only. To answer your question,
the Status Manager is the person to whom Project Server 2007 sends task
updates from team members. When a team member submits a task update, the
Status Manager will receive an e-mail message. The Status Manager can see
these updates on the Task Updates page in PWA, where he/she can approve or
reject the updates as needed. When a project manager publishes a project
initially, the system sets him/her as the Status Manager. If another
manager needs to take over the project, temporarily or permanently, he/she
must open the project and select his/her own name in the Status Manager
field for every task. Hope this helps.
