Synchronizing SharePoint and Project Web Access Permissions for Multiple Sites

[Jack]

Greetings:

I have a large number of project websites in SharePoint. I know that I
can synchronize user permissions for each site one at a time in the
"Manage Windows SharePoint Services sites" page on Project Web Access.
That's no fun.

We do not assign named resources and we do not have Active Directory,
so our users get SharePoint site permissions via "View Documents,
Issues, and Risks" permission in PWA.

I want to be able to synchronize permissions for all of the sites at
once. Does anyone have a good method of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

You have a few options here:

1. Republish all your project.
The synchronisation also happens when the project schedule is published.
You may elect to republish your project schedules. You can create a macro to
do this. There are other considerations to address if you do this.

2. Create your own "Sync All" button
The admin page is an ASP page that you could extend by adding a button and
then calling a new method which would be a modified version of the
SyncUpUsersBtn_OnClick method.

Thank you for your reply. I am hoping for some clarification regarding
the synchronisation that occurs when publishing a project. I have just
tested this after adding new PWA users by publishing a project from
within Project Professional 2003, and it does not appear to synch the
PWA users with the SharePoint users.

Is there another method by which a project may be
published/replublished?

Thanks again!
