Documents & My Projects

Hi,

After entering to Documents page I noticed that in "My
Projects" there is a project which should not be there
because I am not a project manager of this project any
more.
I was the project manager of this project but a few days
earlier I had changed the project owner and then he had
republished the project plan and assignments with Project
Pro.
Why can I still see THAT project as if was its project
manager?

Hi Darek,

Did the new PM use the "Collaborate->Publish->Re-publish Assignments"
feature and check the "Become the manager for these assignments" checkbox?
If not, you are still the 'owner' of the tasks you published, even though
you are not the owner of the project.

Yes, the new PM republished the project and checked
the "Become the manager for these assignments" checkbox.

I did some more tests.
I created a test project managed by me. I created a test
category checking only the option "allow users of these
category view all the projects managed by them" checkbox.
Then I changed the ownership like above.... and the same
thing - in Documents page, under "My Projects" I still can
see the test project.

Maybe I don't quite understand what should be displayed
in "My Projects". Is it ONLY projects managed by project
manager ? Or is it what specified by category which the
project manager belongs ?

Darek:

In Project Web Access, logged in as an admin, go to the Project Center,
select the project in the grid and click the Edit Project Details button.
Change the value in the owner field to the new manager.

You can own a project and not own any of the tasks for reporting purposes.
These are two distinct attributes.

I did it.
First I chose the new owner (Edit Project Details) and
then the new owner opened the project in Project Pro and
republished it (with checked "Become the manager..."
checkbox).

No, I still can see that project as if I was a project
manager.
However new project manager can also see it and can work
with it correctly.
Well, I'm think I'm out of ideas what can be wrong about
it.
It is a strange because I did it before with other projects
(I'm an Project Server administration) and everything was
OK. The only difference is I was not a project manager of
those projects.
Well, the problem begins when it is I who publish a
project as a project manager and then I want to make other
person to manage that project.

Kind regards,
Darek

Hi Darek,

Did you try removing yourself from the Resource Sheet of the Project? That
might do it as well. -Bill
