log of deleting a project

E

Eric Frederich

Hello,

A project we have keeps on getting deleted. I'm not sure if this is
intentional or not. I am looking for a way to find out who may be doing this.
At the time of the project being deleted there were no visits to
DBCleanup.asp which leads me to beleive that they are probably doing it
directly in Project Professional by pressing the delete key on the open
project dialog.
Is there any way to find out who deleted a project. Any logs anywhere?

Thanks,
Eric

Eric --

I'm not sure about the database log part of your question, but will gladly
leave that questions to our SQL Server gurus. On the other hand, you can
stop this reckless deletion of projects by the mysterious PM by doing the
following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click Admin - Manage Users and Groups
3. Click the Groups link in the sidepane on the left
4. Select the Project Managers group and click the Modify Group button
5. In the Categories section, select the My Projects category
6. In the Permissions grid of the Categories section, deselect the Allow
permission for the Delete Project permission

In step #6 above, DO NOT set the permission to Deny. All you need to do is
deselect the Allow permission.

7. Click the Save Changes button

Hope this helps.

Dear Eric

run the command below using query analyzer and see if it can give you when &
who deleted the project

select Proj_name, proj_id, proj_prop_author, proj_creation_date,
proj_last_saved, proj_Data_Source, proj_machine_id, Proj_CheckoutBy,
Proj_CheckoutDate from msp_projects where proj_name like 'projectname%'

(Replace projectname% with the actual name of the Project plan/(s))

good luck
