Project Professional Users Incorrectly Increasing

J

Jim Sipe

Running 2007 with SP1. In About Project Server, the Number of Active Project
Server Users is equal to 10 and the Number of Project Professional Users is
10. I add a new user and associate with Team Member group and set the Global
Permissions with the default Team Member security template. Log On is
Allowed. Log On to Project Server from Project Professional is not allowed.

In About Project Server, the Number of Active Project Server Users is now
equal to 11 and the Number of Project Professional Users is also 11. I
believe the Number of Project Professional Users should have remained at 10.

Any idea why this is happening.

I have also seen this scenario before and have not figured out why it works
correctly sometimes and not other times.

One thing in your description stuck out to me. If you apply a resource to a
security group, you should not also give the user specific global
permissions or add them directly to categories either. All that should be
handled by the group membership alone.

Try removing the global permissions you set at the individual level and see
if that fixes the issue.

Also, make sure that TM group does not have the Log on to Project Server
from Project Pro permission enabled by accident.

Went back and removed the Global Premissions and all Groups from the user.
Values in About went back to 10 for both. Then just gave the user Team
Member and no Global settings. Validated that Log On with Professional was
NOT set. Both About values jumped back to 11.

At least someone else has seen this and I am not crazy.

Thanks

FYI, I also validated with the View Effective Rights tool and the user does
not have Log On with Professional.

I have been told that Microsoft will charge for licenses based on these
values; is that correct?

Re the licencing question, this is not correct. Use this info solely for
your own information. Buy your licences based on the actual number of users
you have (do your own count), not on any number supplied by the product. MS
cannot charge on this basis as they have no access to your systems.

Excellent, that makes me feel better.
