I saw that you wrote that you published them, but inasmuch as you say you ar
new to Project Server, I cannot be certain that you know what that means
People use terms very loosely in the NGs. So forgive my skepticism, but
still cant' be certain that you did this correctly given that you have no
provided the steps you took
So, I guess we will have to go around again
Did you use Tools > Enterprise Options > Import Project to Enterprise t
import the projects
After importing, did you go to File > Open, open the project and the go t
File > Publish and publish the project
If you can verify this, the only other explanation is that your securit
setup is incorrect, regardless of what the effective rights tool tells you

Can't view projects in Project Center
Hello, still new to Project and learning plenty. I have managed to get Projec
Web Access up and running, synch A.D. users and upload projects
Problem: I cannot view (literally, they do not appear in the Project Center
area) any of the published projects. I am able to view all resources
including those that were added during publishing
When I go to Project Center, I get this message
"There are no projects to view in Project Center. This is because you migh
not have permissions on any projects or no projects are published.
I am a local admin on the server and an administrator in Project Web Access
I am also have rights on all 4 Project databases
When I go to Server Settings --> Delete Enterprise Objects all of th
projects show up in the list of deletable projects. Also, if I try to ope
the projects from the server using Project Professional 2007 they appear an
open fine
I have tried using the View Effective Rights Tool for 2007 on the server an
it shows me as having permission for any project I check
Is there anything that I need to do after uploading a project from Projec
Professional 2007 to a default installation of Project Web Access? Event th
simplest thing could help, I am open to anything really as I have trie
everything I can think of
Thanks for any help!

Kahuna, thanks for the suggestions!
Kahuna, thanks for the suggestions
I had tried most of them, but double checked to make sure. They all appea
to be correct except for the Manage Categories. There is no "Projec
Manager" category. The only categories I have are: My Direct Reports, My
Organization, My Personal Projects, My Projects, My Resources and My Tasks.
Are there isome default categories missing?
I tried adding a "Project Manager" category, adding the Administrators group
to it and giving it permssions but it did not change anything. On the Add or
Edit Category page, there is a section for "Name and Description", "Users and
Groups", "Projects", "Resources", and "Views - Add to Category". In none of
these areas can I find a permission setting for "View Project Center".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Jas:Have you "Published" the projects?
Jas:
Have you "Published" the projects? This is probably the most common error
new users make. You might want to have a look at our books at
https://projectserverbooks.com as doing this without good reference material
will eat up more time than you might have.
Howdy. Something sounds wrong in the view. Go to Server Settings>ManageViews.
Howdy. Something sounds wrong in the view. Go to Server Settings>Manage
Views. Under the project center group, click on the view which is giving you
this message. Have a play with the settings on this page. One thing I know is
you will get this same message if you have a filter set that returns no data.
Click the filter button and make sure there is nothing here limiting the
results being shown in the project centre. The other thing is check the
security categories settings down the bottom of the page. Track it through to
check the category settings etc... Hopefully the problem is something to do
with this.

Gary,Thanks for the suggestion.
Gary,
Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I mentioned in my initial post, but if
not yes I have published the projects. All of them were published through
Project Professional 2007 and they can all be seen on the server through the
web interface if I go to Server Settings-->Delete Enterprise Objects. They
will not show up in the Project Center though.
Thanks

Andrew,Thanks for the reply.
Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. I am with you in that it sounds like a security issue
but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. As I said, I am a
server admin, and a Project admin, my account was the admin listed when I
created the Project Web Access from the Shared Service Provider. And
finally, if I use the "View Effective Rights Tool" it shows me as having
rights on all of them.
As for having modified security permissions, I definitely have done some of
that in an attempt to get the projects to be viewable. As to what I have done,
I cannot list it all but in every event it is been trying to make everything as
wide open as possible just to try and get the projects to show. In the
Manage Categories section though, I had not touched anything at all on the
default ones, I only added 2 categories.
And for the final question, I published all of the projects, so I assume
that makes me the Project Owner?
Thanks

Piet,Thanks for the reply.
Piet,
Thanks for the reply. I tried checking the view and there were no filters
set on it, all other settings look normal to me. In the Security Categories
section, I added all available categories just to try and that did not help
either.
Thanks

JasFr, one thing that helped me to figure out some permission issues was to
start off by giving full permissions on the Administrator User for Group,
Category, Security Template and Global and then one by one take out the
various options. Time consuming but it can work. Also, make sure that once
you are able to see all of it as an administrator, defining the Security
Templates for each profile (team member, project manager, executive and so
on), as it is much easier to then apply the templates to the Groups,
Category, User etc than do it individually.

Did you use Tools > Enterprise Options > Import Project to Enterprise to
import the projects?
After importing, did you go to File > Open, open the project and the go to
File > Publish and publish the project?

Gary,You did it!
Gary,
You did it! I feel rather idiotic about that being the problem, but as I
said, I am new to Project so I thought that "Export to Enterprise" was
actually publishing it and since they were showing up on the server in the
delete objects screen that made me think they were published.
Anyway, thanks a ton and thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

See, you could have had a V8! You also might take a look at two of the books
my partner Dale and I wrote. (Managing Enterprise Projects and Implementing
and Administering)They'll save you days and days of this kind of nonsense.
This is not an intuitive tool. Have a look at

Gary,Thanks for the suggestion on the books.
Gary,
Thanks for the suggestion on the books. Next time we make a book order I will
keep those in mind. I am already feeling you on the non-intuitiveness of the
software as you can see heh. There also does not seem to be a lot of
troubleshooting content online about it.
Thanks again

On our Projectserverexperts.
On our Projectserverexperts.com site, we have a listing of all the best
blogs for Project Server. You'll want to pay close attention to the
Microsoft bloggers, in particular, Christophe Fiessinger and Brian Smith are
very prolific and most often first-to-market with important advice and
updates from Microsoft. Eventually you can find everything in the KB or in
TechNet, which is a very good, and growing-better-by-the-day source of
information. Then you have MVPs many of whom maintain sites and blogs as
well as many other "Projectserverati" who generate great content as well. Of
course these newsgroups are a wonderful support pillar. There is lots of info
out there, you simply need to tune into all the different channels.
