An Enterprise Resource is any resource included in the Enterprise Resource
Pool. This also means that the resource has a matching User Account in
Project Web Access. When a resource is included in the Enterprise Resource
Pool, this allows you to standardize the information for that resource, and
to make the resource available to all project managers who have security
permissions to view and use the resource in their projects. So, converting
all of your resources to enterprise resources is a very good thing, since
that is what you desire.
To bring all of your resources into the Enterprise Resource Pool, it would
help if all of them were in a single project file. Then you could simply
import the resources into the pool using Tools - Enterprise Options - Import
Resources to Enterprise. I must warn you, however, to TAKE YOUR TIME when
you are importing either resources into your Enterprise Resource Pool. Make
sure that correctly specify all of your resource standard and custom
information during the import process. Hope this helps.

When you try to import resources from a project into Enterprise Resources
and the resource name is the same as a user name (since he is the same
person), it gives you a error/warning message "User will become an
enterprise resource". Should I continue? What are the effects of this?
Another related issue is that at the end, I do want to have all users as
resources in the Enterprise Resource Pool. I haven't found out how to copy
all the users into the Enterprise Resource Pool. Any ideas?
