Delete user from Project Server

Hello,

I have searched everywhere to figure out how to properly
delete a user from the Project 2002 Server. It can't be
done via the admin web interface. Please help.

thanks,

paul

You can only deactivate their account from the server.
You have to open the SQL table and delete them from there
to completely get rid of them.

We have decided not to do this (and I think for good
reasons) Basically, if you have a project plan that
references the resource, and you delete them you lose your
actuals that they have been working on. If, instead you
deactivate the user (under Admin - Manage users and
Groups, select the resource and then Deactivate User) They
no longer have access. (I think you also have to set
their max units to 0% and/or the Inactive field to Yes in
the Enterprise Resource pool via Project Pro)

If you really want to delete them you need to go to MS
Project Pro - Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise
Resource Pool, then delete them from there.

I'd reccommend just deactivating them, however. If you
are worried someone will "use" the resource, you can
create a grouping field "Archived" or something similar to
indicate the resource will not respond. Also, I'd suggest
setting up an e-mail account for all "archived" resources
and change their e-mail notifications to the new e-mail
account (just in case). As an admin, you can see if any e-
mails pop up, and resolve from there...

This cannot be done in 2002. All that you can do is mark
the user inactive. The problem is that when you delete a
user, existing old plans that had that users will be
impacted so 2002 server does not allow it.

So this cannot be done even if a user has never been
assigned to a project?
