Team Lead/resource manager Assign Project tasks - Best Practice?

[wdritt]

Hello,
In Project Server 2007, I am looking to have Resource Managers or Team Leads
reassign work to people that are not currently on the project team.

The idea would be for a project manager to assign a task to a lead/resource
manager (or whatever, i.e. Team, role, etc) and then have the person
responsible for that team assign the task to a specific person.

In looking at this, it appears that a lead can only reassign work to a
person that already exists on the project team. Is that the only way this
works?

WDR --

Yup, that's how it works. In order for a Team Lead to reassign (delegate) a
task, the potential assignees must already be in the project team. That's
the limitation. Hope this helps.

To overcome this limitation, you could give your team leads the ability to
use the Build Team feature in PWA.

Dale/Gary, thanks for your replies.

Enabling Leads to build teams is the best way to go for this.

Thanks again
