Groups and Categories

Hello all,

What is the propor behaviour for whes setting groups and categories for
users in Project Web Access? We are having problems with the categories that
are associated with a specific group.

We have a defined a group with categories and permissions. However, when we
assign a user to the group, we notice that the user does not get the category
at all. Is this the propor behaviour, or should the category automatically
populate for the user on group assignment?

Huh?

Thanks in advance,

Steve.

Interesting. Further to the discussion: I have two installations, the
customer site and our inhouse test environment. The test environment behaves
as you describe, the live customer install does not.

To 'try something different' we created a fresh test group, category and
user. On adding the user to this new group, the associated category was
displayed. We thought this was a good thing. But, on removing the user from
the group, the category stayed! Whoa, what's happening? The behaviour is
strange.

(Thanks for your speedy reply.)

Steve.

When you modify a user account, simply add the user to the desired Group.
The Group itself inherits the Category, but you do not see the Category
specifically listed in the user account Category section. It's just the way
the software works. Hope this helps.

If you navigate to the Group and add the user, you see the Category. If you
modify the user account and add the user to the Group, you do not see the
Category. Hope this helps.
