You are not Authorized

[face]

I have seen references to this before and am still stumped.

When trying to access Project Server from Project 2003 Pro I have some users
who get the "You are not authorized to view this page".

The users can access the website.

For testing purposes, I went to a machine that was having this problem and I
logged on as myself, creating a new Windows Profile. I was able to connect to
the server using Project 2003. My initial thought, his Windows Profile is
corrupt. I thin had him come to my machine, log on as himself, creating a new
profile. He still cannot access the server thru Project. There goes that
theory. His right are the same as mine on the Server.

I at one time had the same issue. The solution was to delete the Domain
Profile and recreate me. This fixed the problem. I also had to recreate my
desktop. Cannot remember if I had to also delete my profile on the machine at
the same time. To me, this seems like a drastic solution, especially f the
Win Profile has to be redone.

I would love to hear anyone's thought on this.

Thanks!

You are not authorized is a permissions issue. A few things that might help
you.

1) Make project server a trusted site on the computer

2) In go to he virtual server, then to project server Virtual directory,
then go to ISAPI, right click properties and Directory security click the
first edit and make it anonymous.

3) If this resolves your issue perfect, otherwise create a users in PWA,
keep project server authentication. Make the corrupted profile account (win
acc) an admin on a box. Login to the box with the windows account, use
project server account u created to connect. This will help you detemine if
this is an corrupted profile or what.

4) In tools, enterprise options, Project Server account, select an any
account, goto properties instead of the server name in the URL put the IP
address.

Hope the steps are helpful.
