Local Resources - No Account on Proj Server

[Denise]

Hi all,

On several of my projects, I'm using Enterprise Resources for the most
part, but I have one resource local to each project. This resource
represents the client. These are things I need the client to do (i.e.,
review functional documentation, etc). However, I don't want this
resource to be enterprise wide because levelling for this resource
would make little sense. For instance, the client on one project is
Tom and the client on another project is Bob and it doesn't matter if
Tom and Bob are busy at the same time. So I don't want them to be
enterprise resources.

I've set permissions on ProjServer so that new accounts are not created
with local resources. But now I'm getting a spooler error every time I
publish becuase "The manager cannot create the resource account".

What am I not thinking correctly about here? How do you guys handle
client's tasks in your project?

Open your project and double click on the resource in a resource view. Set
the workgroup value to "none" in the resource dialog.
