Project Server 2013 Project Site Permission

Hi All,
Q1: We are using project server 2013, most of the time the projects are created by the PMO coordinators and it will be assigned to the project manager. Project coordinator and Project Manager belongs to "Project Manager" group. After assigning
the project when the project manager tries to access Project Site, he is getting "why you want to access this site". When I checked project site permission only project coordinator name is added to the Owners group. Normally the project owner should
have the permission to the project site, how to fix it.
Q2: We have different enterprise project type with different site templates. When the project type is changed from one type to another, is it possible to delete and recreate the respective project sites automatically.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
Q1) this is a question related to how your security is set up. If you are using Project Server Permission mode, people in Project managers groups, who have edit ability on your project will get added to the Project manager Synchronized group on the project
site upon publish. You just need to make sure your secueiry ctegories and groups are set up as such.
Alternatively, you could set the owner of the project to be the project manager once they take ownership.
Q2) This will be a manual activity. You need to disconnect the site under server settings, then delete site. Then you can create the site, which will pickup the new EPT set project site template automatically.

Project Server 2013 Project Site Documents

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. The project site (template) document library is configured with the project folders and templates. i.e. when the project is created, the project site will be created with required project document templates. We want to delete
the project document templates from the projects sites which was created already, how can we achieve this.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
The simplest way I can think of is to use PowerShell. Be careful with it, though, and test in a test enviroment, so that you do not end up deleting files that you actually want.
This article should give you a good start: https://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/Delete-SharePoint-Files-With-PowerShell#.VOGMePnF-So

Project Server 2013 project site navigation

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have customized the project site template. We want to display the Project Web App navigation (link) in the top of the project site. While customizing the project site it is showing the Project Web App link at the
top. Once it is configured in the project enterprise project type and created project the Project Web App link is not appearing. It is showing only the project name.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Hi Taj,
Have you followed procedure below from Prasanna post?
http://www.prasannaadavi.com/2013/05/project-site-navigation-in-project.html
Was the link correctly working in the project site before saving it as a template? Try creating a project site directly from the template (without creating a project first). Also be sure that you associated the correct site template to the EPT you chosen
in PWA project center for creating the new project.
Hope this helps,

Resource time phased data in project server 2013/project 2013

Hi all,
I am using project server 2013 .
one resource availability percentage is set as 80% ie 6.4 hrs per day. But when we are doin task assignment, only 5.6 is taken for a day and rest is pushed to next day ( i have noticed this in the timephased data in the task usage screen).
for eg. if 6.4 work is assigned to the resources for a task with start date 1/1/2014 and end date 1/1/2014. 5.6hrs is taken for first day and 0.8 hr is moved to next day. Also the duration still shows as 1 eventhough task finish date is changed to 1/2/2014.
Please help to understand is there any settings where 5.6 is taken for a day though the resource capacity is set as 80% ie, 6.4hrs.
Thanks, Rose

Hi Rose,
is there any chance you have auto leveling turned on? Menu Resource > Leveling Options > Automatic.

Project Server 2013: Project progress task available to only assigned resources.

I have a project in project server 2013. In that I am preparing the project plan. Now I want that only the respective person to whom I have assigned the task can modify the % complete. Not even the owner can edit it.

Project owner can modify the the plan either from PWA or from MPP.
As far as % complete is concerned for assignment only Resource who will be assigned to the task can fill the actual for the task either from Task page or from Timesheet page if Single Entry Mode is enabled. No one else can fill the actual for the task from
Timesheet page and task page. AS assignment will be available to the only that resource who is assigned to the task.
But Project owner can do the modify the project plan any time either from MPP or from PWA you can not restrict him/her. But as far as % complete is concerned do the setting
To prevent the project manager from updating a team member's actual time worked, select the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets check box. it will be
available on server setting --> Task setting and display

Project Server 2013 - Project Plan crashes frequently

Team,
We are using EPM , and everytime we update the project plan using enterprise project, the plan crashes and it does not allow me to publish the plan on the Project server.
Please suggest solution for the above
We are using Project Server 2013
Regards
Vidhya

Vidhya --
First of all, is your Project Server 2013 system updated with the latest Cumulative Updates and/or with Service Pack 1 (just released yesterday)? If not, I would strongly suggest that you update your system and your copies of Microsoft Project 2013
with Service Pack 1 at the earliest date possible.
Second, regarding this project in particular, I would strongly suspect that this project is corrupted. To resolve the corruption, you will need to use the Save for Sharing feature in Microsoft Project 2013. To do this, right-click anywhere on
a ribbon tab in Microsoft Project 2013, such as the Tasks tab, and then select the Customize Quick Access Toolbar item on the shortcut menu. In upper left corner of the Project Options dialog, click the Choose Commands From pick list and select
the All Commands item. In the list of commands on the left side, select the Save For Sharing item and click the Add button to add it to the list on the right. Click the OK button when finished.
To use the Save for Sharing feature, do the following:
Open the enterprise project in question.
Click the Save for Sharing button in the Quick Access Toolbar.
In the Save dialog, save the MPP file to a location where you can find it easily, such as your computer Desktop, for example.
Close the MPP file.
Reopen the MPP file.
Click File > Save As and then save the project.
When the Save operation is done, try publishing the project.
Please let us know if 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,

Project Server 2013 restore site from content database

My Project server was moved from one domain to other so i had to recreate everything since distributed cache was nt happy. I recreated everything. Now i have contet database from porject server that i need to restore to brand new environment. How to do that?
Simply doing rmount content database is not working? How to reprovision it in Project server service application?
Adit

You mention that you mounted the content database. Did you do this with PowerShell? Have you tried adding the content databases, using the menus under Application management?
If that fails, I would just rebuild by doing the following. There probably is an easier way to do this, but here is what I would do
1) Delete the web application used for Project server
2) Create a new web application and point to the content database.
3) Then you can provision project server

How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2013 project file that includes the view?

In earlier versions of PWA a URL for a project could include information on the particular view used. This was very handy for emailing people since when they clicked the URL they would see only the particular tasks in that view. In PWA for Project 2013
the URL contains the info for the project file only and does not include the view or filter or anything else.

Hi Scott,
As far as I can see, this is not possible anymore, since the view's list in the PDP (for example schedule PDP) is affecting only the webpart and not the entire webpage, meaning that the URL is not connected anymore to the view and vice-versa.
Indeed this could be annoying..
Hope this helps.

Project Server 2013 - This webpart was unable to load

Hi all,
I am getting the following error in project server 2013 project sites:
This webpart was unable to load. For more information, please contact your server administrator.
<Guid>
I only get this error message on 'Project Summary Web Part'.
Any idea what it could be?
Thank you,
SJ

Hi there!
I got similar problem in a PDP that was working perfectly even after migration to 2013. On this case, my PDP was showing the webpart that let you to choose what fields and custom fields want to show on a specific PDP.
I created a copy of the crashed PDP and got the same error. So I bet for remove all the custom fields and add one by one to see what happens. The surprise came up when it started to work when my PDP had just pair of custom fields. With this procedure,
I found that the problem was on some specific custom fields created that had null values to all the projects created before. Once I forced value on those fields it worked properly!!
Sometimes EPM2013 has a very strange behavioural and in some cases just clicking on EDIT and SAVE without any change have solved some of my problems too.
I hope it helps this to you and feel free to contact me if I can somehow help you :)

Project Server 2013 - After host header defined, WSSCreateSiteFailure

after configuring webapplication and provisioning PWA (URL: http://<server_name>:<port>/pwa), i have extended the webapp to use host header and SSL protocol. now URL become something like this https://mycompany.com/pwa
if users access the site using this new URL, project site creation gives an error in queue as following. in ULS logs there is nothing useful as well. and if i open/publish the same project again, it gives me an error that project site is already in use.
once point which may can makes a difference is that security certificate for above URL is yet to be configured, and due to this users are getting this certificate error in their browser while access site. could
this be a cause?
however if users use the site using the same old URL, project site get successfully created.
any guesses?

Hey Paul, good to see you mate :)
and yea i think now we are hitting more on the target.
patch level is 0, its a RTM version without any update. and applying any kind of patch is also not easily possible, because its one server hosting a very complex and huge SharePoint portal as well.
with your clue, i have got Brian's blog related to this exact issue: http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2013/01/10/project-server-2013-project-sites-alternate-access-mapping-and-themes.aspx
here he has mentioned a workaround until we apply patch, and also quoted it as a good way of configuring.
From Brian's Blog:
The first would be to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the Default zone Url, and then add an Internal
Url to the same Default zone for the server name – http://Project2013/.
Another option would be to set the FQDN as the Default zone Url and then add the shorter version as the Intranet zone or Custom zone. Either of these would mean that the strings wouldn’t get confused and the site would get created.
now in my case, assuming machine name is: ServerA, and while creating webapplication which going to host PWA site i am defining required host header assuming: epm.
provisioning my PWA using this web app and defing PWA path as "Project" because its a migrated site so i have to use the same name, and the URL i am going to get in the end would be: http://epm/project
AAM is, default zone: http://<server>:<port> and intranet zone: http://epm
is the above complying with the first option of Brian?

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:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/3affdc4f-36bf-4381-8b75-27c73465efd4/action?threadDisplayName=how-can-i-create-a-url-for-a-pwa-for-ms-project-server-2013-project-file-that-includes-the-view
Who knows how?

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.

Getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do not create a sites in project server 2013.

In Project server 2013, users are getting Project Site Provisioning Pop-up even after Operational Policies set as Do
not create a sites.
We can use “Deny” Global Permission, “Manage SharePoint Foundation”, which controls Project site creation/ delete
as temporary workaround however want to know is this know defect in Project server 2013?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Raushan,
I can reproduce the same behaviour in my environment. It pops-up the dialog box when Project Site Provisioning settings set to 'Do Not Create' in the Central admin for the Project Web App.
As you mentioned already you can control it via permissions as an work-around.
Alternatively, you can also ask users to select the check box 'Don't show this again for this project'

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
Hope this helps,

Yasser

Also, after you provisioned PWA, are you able to get to the server settings? Did you do any configurations with PWA or using the defaults?
Are you trying to add the project using the FarmAdmin account or did you add yourself as a resource with project manager role?
