Project Ownership

[Shawn Everingham]

How do I change ownership for a project? I have gone into MSProject, opened
the project, File/Properties, and changed the author to my NT account. I
don't think this is right because the Owner field in Project Center
properties view still shows old owner.
Thanks in advance!

Shawn,

In the Project Center in PWA, highlight the project you want to change
the owner of. Select Edit in the toolbar. If you have the required
permissions, you will see Owner as the first item (I think, I am doing
this from memory as I am using my VPC for MOSS right now). If you
don't see it, then the Admin will need to do it.

You will also need to need to republish Resource Assignments,
selecting the "Become the manager of these assignments" checkbox in
order to get timesheet updates sent to you for approval.

Hope this helps,
