Project Server 2002 (maybe 2003) General Questions

R

Ron Colbert

I have three questions, which I have been struggling to
answer over the past few days.

**These are all directed towards Proj. Server 2002, but
if it is not possible in 02..is it available in 03?

Is it possible to add (or edit) a project directly to the
Project Server?

Is it possible to sort the project list by customer (or
any other criteria)?

How can external clients rights be restricted to only
view specific/relevant data to their user name? By this I
mean: User A logs into a project and can only VIEW
information relevant to User A. He/She does not have
access to view User B-Z data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is not a way built into 2002 or 2003 ot create a project directly
from Web Access but there is sample code on the MSDN site that shows
how to create a "project initiation" type page that can be used to
create projects from the Web. Things like task data and such "could" be
edited in a similar way but the best interface for that would still be
Project Pro.

Yes, if you have Enterprise Outline codes for defining things like
customer or other criteria these can be used for either filtering or
grouping within Project Center views.

This can be done using the Category security model. Categories control
what projects can be seen which users. With them you can define that
certain users can see only specific project or the project list can be
relative to what projects are being managed by a given user or by users
that that user manages.
