Change Work Days Permission

[Beth]

I'm missing something here...
Below I have copied the description of the Change Work Days Global Permission.

"Change Work Days is a global permission that allows a user to send working
time updates to their manager and create exceptions in the Standard
Enterprise Calendar. Grant this permission to most Project Web Access users
unless your organization is using Administrative Projects to track
non-project and non-working time."

I have allowed this permission, but I cannot locate the vehicle by which
team members can send working time updates to their manager. Via the Tasks
page, there is the "Notify..." action, but it takes me to an error page which
says there is no assignment to an administrative project. This would be
because I chose to not use them, of course.

Question - is there really no automated way for team members to notify
managers and create exceptions for non-working times? If not, what is the
Best Known Practice for doing the notification?

Thanks in advance-
Beth

Beth --

The description of the permission is absolutely totally in error. The
permission in question allows a team member who is assigned to an
Administrative project to send working day changes to the manager of the
Administrative project. The permission DOES NOT change the Standard
calendar for the resource.

If you want your team members to be able to submit nonworking time to a
manager, who must approve the time, and then have the nonworking time placed
on the resource's calendar in the Enterprise Resource Pool, our company
offers a product called Time Away to handle this need. This functionality
does not exist in Project Server otherwise. Feel free to contact our
company by clicking either URL in my signature block for information about
the Time Away product.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if its worse that I'm not losing my mind, or that I can't actually
do it...
