Project Workspace Permissions

Hi, I want to change the permissions for all project managers from Design to Contribute with regard to project workspaces. I want them to be able to add content in lists and libraries, but not change the structure of the lists and libraries by adding or deleting columns. I think I should be able to do this by changing the Project Managers (Microsoft Office Project Server Group) SharePoint group permissions in PWA. All I want to be able to do is uncheck the Manage Lists checkbox and test from there. However, I do that and the permissions for the workspaces are not applied as

Publishing Tasks Updates

When working on Project Server 2007 for approving tasks updates, is there a way to have the tasks automatically published on to a project plan rather than the PM having to first approve of the task and then go to the Applied Task Update Requests and Errors page to select the tasks that need to be published and then pick the project it needs to be published too? I know there is a way for them to do it straight from the project plan in Project Professional but the PMs prefer to use the web access since they can approve of more than one project at a time but then they find it cumbe

2007 install - only standalone option available???

Could anyone tell me why I am only getting a standalone option to install from my purchased copy of MSP 2007? I am installing onto a machine that previously had MSP 2003 on it. We have removed MSP 2003 completely. Could it have anything to do with being logged into the server locally? We have had problem logging in with our added admin account we set up.

Time-off Report for Resource Managers

Hi there! I'm hoping that someone can answer this one. Anyone know if there is a report or view that resource managers can access to see a list of the dates he/she approved for time-off? For example, you see the requests in the Approvals > Administrative Time, but then you cannot pull a history of what you had approved. The capacity graph in resource center is not useful in providing discrete list of dates of time approved.

Why do we get a NaN error when submitting in PWA?

We are using MS Project 2007 SP1 and Project Web Access (IE 6.0) We've used Project Professional for almost 3 years now, and have only received this error less than a dozen times. A user will update a percentage in the My Tasks section of PWA, and it submits as if accepted. However, they show a "Not Accepted" message in the % field. The Admin receives an e-mail as normal, but with "Completion: NaN"....but the Admin can still approve the submission in PWA and it updates Project Professional with the correct percentage. The only true issue we can find is that the PWA user does

Error when accessing the MY TASKS View (Proj Ser 2007)

I ran into an interesting problem and wanted to share it with the group. I am using MS Proj Pro 2007 SP2 and MS Proj Server 2007 SP2. I was working in an enterprise project and was checking resource assignments on PWA using the MY TASKS view.

Task ID number in PWA and Project do not match

We are using Project Server, Microsoft Project 2007 and PWA 2007. I noticed today that for one of my project plans, the task ID number in PWA was different than in Project. When I open up the project plan from project server via Project 2007, the second line item has ID of 2. When I print from Project, it also shows as item 2. When I view the same plan through PWA using the Project Center, the second line item has ID of 7. (and all the rest of the line items increment sequentially from 7) I tried changing the line item through Project, and re-publishing. The change

My Tasks (tasks.aspx) doesn't work on my machine, but does on othe

It would appear that something on my machine has broken. When I go to the homepage of our project server site it won't even load if the My Tasks webpart is on the page. If I remove it and reload the page everything works fine. All of the other users in my dept are able to get to the page whether My Tasks is on the page or not. Any thoughts? I am the admin (I know, I know, I should be able to fix this, I'm the admin) so I have rights to login and make server level changes, just need help figuring out what is wrong. Since it's only on my machine I assume it has something to

Circular Link Errors in Server

Hello, I've opened a master plan and I have duplicate links in the predecessors...that's right...exact duplicates! I delete one of the links and it tells me that I cannot delete the link because there is a circular reference. I remove both links and again, it tells me there is a circular reference and I cannot do that. There are no linked summary bars. Has anyone encountered these "fake" circular links in a master plan? Thanks! Sandra

Folks, We currently use EPM 2007 and will be upgrading to Project Server 2010 soon!

EPM2007 My Tasks View Options Not Holding

I am currently experiencing a problem on the My Tasks page. When users change their view options to what they want to see and go to another page or log off and then return to My Tasks, the settings do not hold. This is very annoying for them, but i can't duplicate it on my machine. My options hold when I change them. Does anyone know what might be causing this and where or what settings I can check to correct this problem. I would tyhink when you change you view options, they should remain changed for all as mine do. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.
