WSS rights are not updated by Project

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm using Project 2003 SP1 on a Windows Server 2003 with WSS and SQL Server
2000 installed on the same server. I've a problem using risks, issues and
documents linked to a project. When a user tryes to link any of the above,
he's prompted for a password. I found out that, every time a new project is
created, a new site named /sites/projectserver_nnn (where nnn varies for any
project) is created in WSS. This site will contain the risks, issues and
documents (and maybe something else) related to the project. The problem is
that Project gives rights to this site only to its administrative account,
not to any project user. After assigning the rights in sharepoint to the
users everything works fine, but the user management in sharepoint is very
boring, and I must do it manualy for any project and for any user.
Is there any other solution ?

Thanks.

Massimo.

Hi Massimo,

Which PWA User Authentication are you using for your users?
Windows Authenticated or Project Server Authenticated?

Remember that only Windows Authenticated User accounts will be
synchronized with the WSS project sites.

Also note that your user accounts (resources) will need to be assigned
tasks in the project in order to be added to the list of users in the
WSS project site.

Hope this helps
