I want to break inheritence and create unique permissions in a Project Server 2010 project site list/library.

Some Project Managers want to restrict permissions on certain lists or libraries in their Project Server 2010 project site. However, when I have done this for them, by breaking inheritence to the parent site and then removing/adding users with unique
sharepoint permissions, it seems that when the project schedule is published, some of the newly created permissions are lost.
I have tried creating a SharePoint group at the project site level and then applied it with specific permissions (eg. Contribute) to the list/library and this seems to work better but I haven't been able to confirm yet if this will work in the
longer term.
Does anyone know what is the best method to break inheritence and set up unique permissions on a list in a Project Server 2010 project site that will not be lost when the project schedule is published?
Thanks
Peter

Thanks Lynda
I am aware that I can disengage the entire permissions sychronisation using that setting but that is not what I want to do.  I just want to be able to break the inherited permissions on individual document libraries or lists on specific Project Sites
so that I can restrict access to nominated people.
My issue is that when I do this, I find that some of the amended permissions disappear from time to time.  It seems to be related to when the schedule is published.  They
don't revert to the inherited permissions, just some of the people who I have given direct access to no longer have access.
Im just trying to find out the best way to manage setting non-automated permissions on a single list or library in a Project Server project sites so the changes stick.

  • My wife has iCloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own account. Once I build the account how do I copy the address book from her account into mine?

    my wife has icloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own icloud account. I've built the account but can't figure out how to COPY our joint address book onto my account so I can then weed out my own addresses. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you log out of the joint account, you should be asked if you want to keep the contacts, you do. When you log into your new account you should be asked if you want to merge contacts, you do.
    If you have already signed into your new account and not taken these options, the simplest thing to do might be to add your wife's account back as a secondary account in system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars. In groups in address book you can drag contacts from your wife's contacts onto your contact group to copy them.

  • How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2010 project file that includes the view?

    Hi, this question has been answered for 2013. The answer here suggests that it can be done in  2010.
    See:

    Hi Sander,
    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.

    Hi,
    While giving permissions from project center ribbon on a project - Users and Groups filter is not working, we are not able to filter any user.
    I am not sure why this error is occurring  i tried giving permissions by opening the project  but still the same filtering is not happening. Below is the screen shot
    We have installed Service Pack 2 and June 2014 CU recently will this effect ?
    Can any one throw some light on this??
    Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

    Hi Geetha,
    Which IE version are you using? First I'd try to add the URL to the compatibility mode sites, then to the trusted sites (if it is not done already). Then I'd try to set the default browser as IE8 or 9 (pressing F12, developer tool).

  • How to sync Projects between Sharepoint and Project server 2010.

    Hello,
    My project is saved in SharePoint and I am trying to save and link my project from Sharepoint to Project server 2010 so that they will be saved in Sharepoint and Project Serverwill both and synced.Users can edit or update from Sharepoint
    and Project server.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Prashant
    Thanks, Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    It is a bit unclear how you have a project in Sharepoint AND a project in Project Server 2010.
    The basic process is :
    you have EPT, associated with a Sharepoint template
    You create from Project Server 2010 (project center) a project choosing an EPT
    a project plan (mpp) will be created, editable from PWA or MS Project Pro2010
    a Sharepoint site associated with the project plan will be created, based on the EPT WSS template
    In server settings, you can sync permissions between the project plan and the sharepoint site, and also check for the url and eventually update them.
    Hope this helps.

    You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

  • I'm going to give my iMac (21" - late 2007) to my brother. So, I did a back-up and now I want to format it and create his new profile. What to do and how? I have OS.x 10.7 (Lion)

    I'm going to give my iMac (21" - late 2007) to my brother. So, I did a back-up on an external disk and now I want to format it and create his new profile. What to do and how? I have OS.x 10.7 (Lion). Thanks very much for your support and help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There isn't a Late 2007 21-inch iMac. I think you are referring to a Mid 2007 20-inch iMac, right?
    In that case, you can't give him your iMac with OS X Lion. OS X Lion is registered to your Apple ID, and he won't be able to reinstall Lion unless you give him your Apple ID.
    The best you can do is to give him the Mac with Snow Leopard installed, if you have the DVD. Follow these steps:
    1. Insert the DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting.
    2. Choose your language, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility.
    3. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall Mac OS X. When the installation finishes, hold the mouse or trackpad to eject the disc and turn off the computer.
    This is the most recommended way to do it and avoid problems. Anyway, if you insist on giving him the iMac with Lion, you just have to start in OS X Recovery (holding Comman and R keys while your computer is starting), use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD as described above, and finally, reinstall Lion with your Apple ID

  • Project Server 2010: PWA Removing Default Project Site Security Groups When Creating a New Project

    I looked for this specific issue with Project Server 2010/PWA/SharePoint and could not find an exact answer... hopefully someone can help.
    We are currently using Project Server 2010 and have a number of project site templates that are used dependent upon the enterprise project type selected. Each of these project site templates have unique permissions which should create the default security
    groups on the project site upon publishing/syncing:
    <Project Name> Members
    <Project Name> Owners
    <Project Name> Visitors
    <Project Name> Project Managers (Project Web App Synchronized)
    <Project Name> Team Members (Project Web App Synchronized)
    Web Administrators (Project Web App Synchronized)
    Whether a user creates a project through PWA or Project Pro 2010 and imports the project into PWA, we get a weird result in the Site Permissions of the newly created project site. PWA will remove all default security groups from the project site template
    and add a whole list of users in the Site Permissions list without groups. 
    Once the project is published and the project site is created, we can then go back and add those default security groups back in the project Site Permissions and even add a couple of custom groups without them being removed on all subsequent project syncs
    or publishing. 
    How do we get PWA to not overwrite the project site templates' security groups and place each user in the proper default security groups? At the same time, how is PWA adding a number of users into the Project Site Permissions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Paul,
    Thanks for that information. Right now we are using the Test environment to turn the Auto-sync feature back on. I suspect that the reason this is happening is due to PWA groups/categories/security templates. There may be more than one PWA group that is "overwriting"
    the default project site groups upon initial creation of the project. We will look further into the security settings to tighten up the policies. 

  • Create a Custom View in Project Server 2010 that is Visible in MS Project

    Hello All,
    We want our PMs to consistently report Physical % Complete, but couldn't find an existing "Status" or "EVM" view.  So, in Project Server 2010, using Server Settings > Look and Feel > Manage Views, I created a customized project
    view using existing fields (no customized fields, if that matters).  The problem is that I cannot find the view when I open MS Project.  Under Manage Views, in the Format View section, I have selected "Gantt Chart (Views)" for the Gantt
    Chart format field.  The view defaulted to "Timesheet" for the Grouping format field.  Under the Security Categories section, I have selected My Projects and My Tasks.  I have not applied a Filter.  Any ideas why I cannot find
    this new custom view in MS Project?  
    Was I supposed to create the new customized view directly in MS Project?  If so, where would I find the steps to do that?  Thank you!
    Julie

    Nice try, my friend.  Your only mistake was trying to create the Microsoft Project view in PWA.  You have to open the Enterprise Global for editing in Microsoft Project, and then create the custom view and table in the Enterprise Global. To
    open the Enterprise Global for editing, click File > Info > Manage Enterprise Global.  When you finish creating the custom view and table, then save, close, and check in the Enterprise Global file, and then exit Microsoft Project completely.
    The next time you or any of your PMs launch Microsoft Project and connect to Project Server, the custom view and table will be visible for every current and future project.  Hope this helps.

  • Create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client

    Dear Forum,
    how can I create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client?
    I saved a template and set a default view under File -> Options ->Project View. I also did the same in the checked-out enterprise global. If I then close the client and re-open it my default view changes back again to the previous one (not the view
    I set as a default view).
    What explains this behaviour and what can I do? Any hints?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Scheduler007 --
    The view you selected by clicking File > Options > Project View is the default view for every new project you create from a blank project template.  This is a global option, so setting it from the checked out Enterprise Global file serves no purpose. 
    When you select a view as your default view, you will see that view applied to the blank project that is opened when you launch Microsoft Project 2010, and you will see it applied if you create new blank projects.  If you create enterprise templates for
    people to use in your organization, you should simply apply the view to the template that you want as the default so that users will see this view immediately when they create a new project from the template.  In addition, if you apply a view to an open
    project, close and check in the project, and then reopen the project, you will see the last view applied in that project (as Guillaume correctly points out).
    Beyond this, there is no method possible for the Project Server administrator to specify a default view for the Microsoft Project application used by the project managers in your organization.  This is an option each PM must set.  Hope this helps.

  • How to define a unique project level custom field in project server 2010?

    Hi every one;
    is it possible to define a unique project level custom field?
    our client wants to have a unique custom field( project code) which doesn't allow users to save and publish projects with the same value.
    for example if user A define a project and set "project code = 1" if user B define another project and wants to save "project code =1" for it, the server doesn't allow him to save this value and he has to change value for example to 2
    thanks for any help

    First of all you need to have Project server development environment also for coding visual studio hands on is required.
    To start with PSI (Project Server interface)you need to have Development Environment of Project Server 2010.

  • Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

    Hi
    Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
    for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
    Thanks,
    -Maurizio

    Maurizio,
    It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
    "MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
    Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
    Member Name
    MDX Expression
    Available (FTE)
    ([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
    Work (FTE)
    [Work]/[Capacity]
    These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
    I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just  how resources are being utilized.
    One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
    only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
    If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
    Hope this helps!

  • Project Server 2013 - Project Site Provisioning Settings - Do not create a site

    Hi,
    The Project Site Provisioning Setting "Do not create a site" prevents a site from being created when a project is published. This works, but it still prompts the user with a dialog each time a project is published. In 2007 and 2010, the only
    way to prevent this dialog was to deny Manage SharePoint Foundation. In 2010, denying this permission does not have the same effect. Is there any way to keep this dialog from being displayed?
    Thanks,
    Erik
    Erik RHS

    Hi Erik,
    As far as I know, if you deny the "Manage SharePoint Foundation" permission with Project Server
    2010, it does remove the dialog box (see this excellent
    blog post). Note that you'll get warning messages in the Queue with Job State - 'Failed but
    blocking correlation'. 
    I remember that Paul Mather, a fellow MVP, created
    a macro with custom publish button (the macro suppressed the dialog box).
    Hope this helps,

  • Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

    Hi Everyone
    I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
    1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
    The Context:
    The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
    send the progress to his project manager.
    So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
    So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
    with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
    This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
    I already have  re open the project and re publish too
    So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.
    Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing Projects

    Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
    Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit.  Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
    Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be. 
    1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
    2) Check if project shows actuals in sql.  Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.
