Project 2010: Project Permissions
Abstract from Microsoft Office Project '12' (Indexed 2010-03-04):
Other Users Need Access to My Projects Consider this scenario. As a project manager you create your project and now youre ready to let others collaborate with you and so you ask yourself how do I let others get access to my project?

So Daniel, this post is for you.For years Project has had a function which remarkably few people know about, and even fewer people use that is the intelligent WBS Code. The intelligent WBS code basically entails swapping out the default numerical outline (1.2.3) with a...(truncated)...
Rebuilding the Project Management Web
Abstract from Jack Dahlgren's Project Blog (Indexed 2010-03-02):
I started this blog five years and a million visitors ago. In that time a lot has changed. Blogs have come and gone. Twitter was invented. Communities have died and new ones have been born. So with the 5 year anniversary coming up in April I thought it would be good to explore and remap the landscape. I'm approaching this in a random fashion. I'll review a site, then ask the owner which site they like best, and continue until I reach a barrier or run out of energy. I'll also inject a few of my f...(truncated)...

Out of 300 Registered people we got around 140 people on the day. Just about the capacity because we didn't had any single seat ava...(truncated)...

The resource is owner on one or more projects and cannot be deleted
Abstract from Do More Than Manage (Indexed 2010-02-26):
I was cleaning up an instance of Project Server today. I had deleted all but a handful of projects from the instance and had moved on to the resources. When I attempted to delete the resources (Server Settings, Delete Enterprise Objects, (Delete) Resources and Users), I received the error message "The resource is owner on one or more projects and cannot be deleted".As it turns out, Project Server is enforcing referential integrity; that is, it will not allow you to delete the user if there are p...(truncated)...

Abstract from Brian Smith's Project Support WebLog (Indexed 2010-02-26):
Thanks to Marc Biarnes for his excellent work on this topic. Ive given a previous work around for this type of issue by updating the TimeByDay table, but this wasnt supportable, and also any updates may have reverted to the bad behavior. Marcs solution has the blessing of the Product Group and is far more elegant than mine but hey, what would you expect from a Frenchman, if not elegance! This is all based on Project Server 2007 but should be equally applicable to Project Serve...(truncated)...
