PSRV2002: New Users Are Not Added to SharePoint Team Services Subwebs (325957)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project Server 2002
  • Microsoft Project Professional 2002
  • Microsoft Project Web Access
This article was previously published under Q325957

SYMPTOMS

When you import resources to the enterprise or create new users in Microsoft Project Web Access, the new users are not added to Microsoft SharePoint Team Services subwebs.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. When you add resources to the enterprise list of resources or when you create new users in Microsoft Project Web Access, the users are not automatically granted access to SharePoint Team Services subwebs.

Note that when you import a project that contains resources that already exist in Microsoft Project Server, the users are assigned user roles for the appropriate project subwebs in SharePoint Team Services.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, add the users to the SharePoint Team Services subweb. To do so, follow these steps.

NOTE: You can only assign user roles to Windows user accounts in SharePoint Team Services. You cannot assign Microsoft Project Server user accounts to roles in SharePoint Team Services.
  1. Log on as Administrator to Microsoft Project Web Access.
  2. Click Admin, and then click Manage SharePoint Team Services.
  3. Under Options in the left pane, click Manage subwebs.
  4. Under Manage project subwebs, click the subweb address for the subweb to which you want to add users.
  5. On the SharePoint Team Services page for the subweb, click Site Settings.
  6. Under Web Administration, click Manage users.
  7. Click Add a user.
  8. Under User, click Add user or group name (For example, DOMAIN\name), and then type the group or domain name and user name for the Windows user account that you want to add.
  9. Under User Role, click to select the check boxes next to the roles that you want to assign to the user.
  10. Click Add User.
NOTE: If the new user account that you create in Microsoft Project Web Access has Administrator permissions, you must synchronize Administrator accounts between Microsoft Project Server and servers that run SharePoint Team Services.

To synchronize administrator accounts, follow these steps:
  1. Log on as Administrator to Microsoft Project Web Access.
  2. Click Admin, and then click Manage SharePoint Team Services.
  3. Under Options in the left pane, click Synchronize Administrator accounts.
  4. Click Synchronize Administrators.
When you synchronize administrator accounts, each Microsoft Project Server user with the "Manage SharePoint Team Services" permission is added to the Administrator (Microsoft Project Server) role on the root Web of the SharePoint Team Services server, and is added to the Administrator (Microsoft Project Server) role on each project subweb.

MORE INFORMATION
