Problem when creating Groups in Web Access Client

K

Kevin

According to MS Project documentation, if one of
the "default" security groups in Project 2002 does not fit
our needs we should create a new group. I created a new
group called "SPC PM Managers". I used the default
templates and categories that are assigned to the default
group "Project Manager". However my new group does not
work the same as the default group. One instance is,
Users that are put into this "SPC PM Managers" group are
not showing up under Project Managers when resources are
in "Notify your manager of a change in your working
schedule". This is just to name one item. Even though we
create other security groups, do we still have to put
people in the default groups?

What is different about your new PM group that isn't satisfied in the
default group?

Gary,

For this scenario nothing...we wanted to test to see what
happens. However going forward we want the group to be
able to View Resource Center and View Resource
Allocation. I don't want these users to have Resource or
Portfolio Manager abilites.

If your changes are going to apply to all PMs, then modifying the PM group
might be your best bet. If they're a subset of your project managers, then
look at leaving them in the default PM group and create a new group that
specifically takes away permissions. Remember that permissions are
cumulative across groups, so you can add groups to add or remove
permissions.
