Problem with PWA Permissions

[Sindre]

Hi,

My company is currently involved in configuring customer's EPM2007 solution,
and we have encountered a problem with the PWA Permissions settings: When
checking or unchecking some, but not all, permissions and saving the changes,
the changes are not applied. No error occurs when Save is pressed, but
reentering the page shows that the changes have not been saved.

We have tried to diagnose the problem using diagnostics logging via Central
Administration Operations, and come to the conclusion that for the
permissions affected no update calls are made to the PSI. For the permission
changes that work as expected the PSI is called to apply these changes to all
entities that are affected, including groups, categories, etc. For the failed
changes the process seem to contact the database, and then stop prematurely.

The installation and intital configuration was made by third parties, and my
question is if anyone have encountered similar problems and/or know which
previous actions that may have created this sort of problem?

Regards,
Sindre

We noticed problems on the following:

About Project Server - unable to turn off, no PSI response.
Approve Timesheets - unable to turn on, no PSI response.

Since this was a live solution we did not go through testing all the
settings since this could end up in losing additional functionality. I know
though, that the problem was not present for the other timesheet settings,
such as Accept Timesheet, Create Surrogate Timesheet, etc. The problem was
found while trying to enable timesheet functionality that had been turned off
prior to our engagement, with Approve Timesheet ending up as the problem.
