Team Members Can't add tasks

[Mazzz]

We recently installed Project Server 2003 at our project and one of the requirements is Team Members ability to add tasks to the project using Project Web Access which later on could be approved and updated into the workplan by the project manager. There is not "add new tasks" type of link available to team members. Do I need to change security setting for the Team Members group? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

To enable new task creation by team members, try the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Manage users and groups link
4. Click the Groups link in the sidepane
5. Select the Team Members group and click the Modify Group button
6. In the Categories section, make sure that only the My Tasks category is
selected
7. In the Global Permissions section, make sure the New Project Task option
is set to Allow
8. Click the Save Changes button

Let me know if this helps.

Dale - Thanks for the response.

Tried it, but no luck. After changing the permissions for Team Members group, as per your instructions, I loged on as a user who is member of only "Team Member" group but I still don't see " Add New Task" link anywhere on PWA (I believe it should appear under Tasks panel)...

By the way I'm able to change almost all other security settings and see their results, but just this does not seem to work.

Thanks for the clarification. By default, the New Project Task feature is
to to Allow in Project Server 2003. It sounds like someone turned off that
feature in the Server configuration section of PWA, which turned off the
feature for everyone in the system.

Dale -

FYI - I have been able to resolve the issue by changing settings in

"Select the features ..." section under "Server configuration" section of
"Admin" tab. Thanks for the effort.
