SI --
Your assumptions are correct. The person who creates the project and saves
it the first time in the Project Server database is designated as the Owner
of the project, eve if he/she will not touch that project again. The person
who publishes the project to PWA is considered the Manager of the project,
and all updates for that project from team members will be sent to him/her
in PWA.
If someone else is taking over responsibility for the project, the new
project manager will need to do the following:
1. Log into PWA
2. Click the Projects menu to display the Project Center page
3. Select any cell for the project other than the Project Name cell
4. Click the Edit Project Details button
5. Change the Owner name to the new owner
6. Click the Save and Close button
If the new owner cannot see the project listed in the Project Center page,
then he/she will need to ask the Project Server to do the above steps.
After the Owner has been changed, and if the project has already been
published, the new Owner will also need to become the new Manager for the
project by completing the following steps:
1. Open Microsoft Project Professiona
2. Log into Project Server
3. Open the project in question
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Select the "Become the manager for these assignments" option
6. Click OK
Hope this helps.

The person who creates a project is then the owner or project manager. Is
it possible to transfer the owner after it has been created? Example: if the
master project file is created by someone presales, can we then transfer the
ownership to anotrher Project Manager when it receives agency sign off?
