Unable to see documents at PWA

[Pit]

The owner of the project can upload documents on their projects without
problem.
Their boss is able to see all the projects, but when he tries to see the
documents, only Public Documents link is displayed.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi Pit,

Is your Boss assigned a task in the Project?

If so they should be able to access the project documents.

If not and you do not want to add a task, then you'll have to manually
assign permissions to the Project site for your Boss.

No, he is not assigned.
We don't want to include him on any task.

This is curious for me.
On project tab at PWA he can see all the projects also he can see a
document indicator, through this indicator he can access to the documents.
but when he go to document tab, he only see the public documents.. is there
any way that we can change this, I mean allow to see the documents from
document tab.

Thanks

Hi Pit,

PWA projects and document indicators (links) are part of Project. When
your Boss actually clicks on the document indicators (links) it will
forward him to the Project Site (WSS). If your Boss is not assigned a
task in the project, then he gets bumped to the default public documents
site.

In your case you need to add your Boss's Active Directory account to the
Project site manually. You can do it a number of different ways, but
here's one procedure


1. Launch PWA as Administrator.
2. Click on Admin --> Manage Windows SharePoint Services --> Manage
SharePoint Sites.
3. Click on the Project Site URL you want your Boss to have access. This
will launch a new IE window.
4. From the Project Site Homae page, click Site Settings.
5. From the Site Settings page, under Administration, click Manage
Users.
6. From the Manage Users page, click Add Users.
7. In the Add Users page, under Step 1, type the your boss's domain
account using the following format: DomainName\UserName.
8. Under Step 2 select the site group(s) you want your boss to have. But
DO NOT select ANY of the Microsoft Office Project Server site groups.
Only Reader, Contributor, Web Designer or Administrator, then click
Next.
9. Review Steps 3 and 4 if the information is provided is correct, then
click Finish.

You're done!

Good Luck
