Inactivate or Delete Status Report

I have a user getting Status Report requests from a manager that is no longer
with the company. How do I delete/inactivate a Status Report request for a
manager who is no longer in the system?

Assuming you are the Project Server administrator, you will need to do the
following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click Admin - Manage Users and Groups
3. Select the departed manager in the data grid and click Modify User
4. Change the method of authentication for this user to Project Server
authentication
5. Take note of the user's name as shown in this page
6. Click the Save Changes button
7. In the upper right corner of the PWA user interface, click the Log Off
link
8. Enter the user name for the departed manager, leave the password blank,
and prese the Enter key
9. Navigate to the Status Reports page
10. Click the Request a Status Report link
11. Select the Delete a status report... option
12. Select the Status Report in question and click OK

Please note: the only way to delete the Status Report request is to log
into PWA as the departed project manager, therefore, you need to complete
steps 1-8 to be able to do so. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale, the problem I have here is that this manager is already deleted.
Not just inactive. And, therefore, I can't see them anymore....thoughts?

Given the fact that you have already deleted the manager from the system,
you may need to consider manually deleting the Status Report request
directly in the SQL Server database. Before you would attempt to do so, I
would strongly advise making a backup of your Project Server database, as I
cannot vouch for the safety of doing this manually. The Status Report
request information is stored in five tables in the Project Server database,
which are:

MSP_WEB_STATUS_REPORTS
MSP_WEB_STATUS_REQUESTS
MSP_WEB_STATUS_FREQUENCIES
MSP_WEB_STATUS_RESPONSES
MSP_WEB_STATUS_DISTRIBUTION

Also, before attempting to manually delete the orphaned Status Report, I
would recommend that you study the Project Web Access database schema,
available for download from Microsoft at:

Hope this helps.
