project server 2003 web access problem

[roland]

We are rolling out project server 2003 and it seems to be going ok. One snag I've hit is when a user (with a project server account) attempts to get into the issues database with web access. The message that pops up is as follows

You have logged on using a Project Server account. Project Server Accounts are not automatically given access to documents, risks and issues. Contact your administrator for logon information you need to view documents,risks and issues

If your server administrator has given you logon information, click ok, and then enter the information in the logon dialog box that appears

Can anyone guide me as what the logon info should be? It asks for userID password and domain. However is we use the standard network logon info (that they use to logon to the domain) it fails. Would that be because the user is not known locally on the server even they are on the domain? Any tips
Thank
Rolan

Hi Roland,

This is a difficult one, and i have had some issues at one of my clients who
is using a Novell domain, and as such cannot use Domain authentication.
Windows Sharepoint services uses windows authentication to allow access to
its different website. You need to make sure that the windows accoutns that
they are using do indeed have rights to the individual websites. The reason
that they do not have automatic access is that project server assigns the
permissions to the website the first time it is created - and these
permissions come from its own User Database. Thus, if your users are using
Project Server authentication, their windows user accounts will not have
automatic access to the different subsites.

Hope this helps
