View Options for non-published versions

[Shawn]

We are using PS 2003 and we have set up additional versions to published. I
am trying to figure out how we can set up access privileges to the different
versions. Since different versions don't show up as distinct items in the
projects section of modify categories, can I assume that if you have access
to a published, then you should have access to the other versions as well?
For example, if you have access to ProjectA, then you should have access to
ProjectA.published and ProjectA.target? This does not seem to be the case
for us. It seems like everyone has access to ProjectA.published but only the
person who created ProjectA.target has access to ProjectA.target. Is there a
rule for who has access to non-published versions of projects that is
different than published versions of projects?

After creating a target version of a project, the PM must click
Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan. This makes the new Target version of
the project visible in the Project Center to anyone who has permissions to
view the Published version of the same project. Hope this helps.

Dale,

Thank you for the answer. I understand that non-published versions need to
be published to show up in PWA. To clarify, is there a way for a user to
have access a published version of a project, but not to the target version?

No, this is not possible. If a user can see the Published version, he/she
can see the Target version as well. Hope this helps.

Thank you Dale! That is what I thought.
