Importing Tasks to Outlook - Access Denied

A

ahmed

I have downloaded and installed the add-in for importing tasks from Project
Web to Outlook. When I click on the Import New Assignments button in Outlook
I get a Access Denied email containing the following message "Permission
denied.

The Project Web Access administrator has denied you permission for
integration with external timesheet systems. This permission is required to
import tasks from Project Web Access. To enable this feature, contact your
administrator." Does anybody have any suggestions? Is there a setting
somewhere in Project Server?

It sounds like your Project Server administrator has inadvertently disabled
the "Integration With External Timesheet System" permission in Project
Server. To rectify this situation, he/she should do the following:

1. Log into Project Web Access with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Server configuration link
4. In the Features data grid, set the Integration With External Timesheet
System permission to Allow
5. Click the Save Changes button

Hope this helps.
