Project Server 2013 reporting security

HI
I have a question and I have seen a couple similar ones but nothing definitive on the topic of permissions/security for Project server 2013 (in project server security mode) for either Excel(Odata) reports or for SSRS reports.
Even setting security aside the Out of the box configuration is certainly not elegant or even usable.
Situation:
In PWA project managers and team members can only see projects they, own, are team members on, or have been granted permissions explicitly to. (Pretty standard - is using security templates and "my Projects"). We are using secure store
and impersonation for access to reports. We do have report authors groups.
As an example a PM needs to create a weekly status report but should not have to pull all the data back to then filter for their one project.
However, when a PM goes to either SSRS or Excel using oData they can see every project in the company. This is just does not make a lot of sense. Why would I hit the database for 100projects when I only care about one and yet there seems
to be a lack of information on the topic. In contacting Microsoft we were told there was nothing we could do that is how it was designed.
REALLY???? (see above)
What we have come up for our approach is that we're currently using the UserID value to set parameters in our data sources, but are looking for more 'elegant' approaches
to security (if they exist) as there are some liabilities with this approach (EX is a report author forgets to put the parameter in the users will get everything back.
QUESTION:
If there is not another approach then we will stay with it. We can't imagine there isn't a better way.
Additionally, the Project user view only contains the identity of the project owner not the rest of the team members (including sponsors who might need to see the data.) so where are they in the database?
Tasks

Hi Paul,
I have a similar situation only I'm using Project Online. I have setup Groups and Categories where there is a relationship between clients and groups, and projects and categories.
Only issue is that when running a report a user receives an error and then all the data shows for all projects irrespective of the group/category/project relationship and the fact that user only exists in one group (and therefore can't see
or access the other projects in PWA outside of their group.
Hope that makes sense.
Regards,
Conrad

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

Project Server 2013 Report Configuration

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have configured the reporting server according to the below URL. But some default excel report (especially graphs) are not working i.e not showing the data. When we try to refresh the report getting the below error. is
there any additional configuration needs to be done.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Hi
Is it a Odata connection ? If it is then it might not work.
Below is the information taken from the site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/office-365-known-issues-HA102919011.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA102901439
Excel reports using OData connections can't be refreshed in Excel Services
In both Project Server and Project Online, when an Excel file is selected and displayed in the browser using Excel Services, if the Excel file has connections to the Project OData feed, a user may attempt to refresh data connections, but the refresh will
not be successful.
Workaround    To refresh your data, open the file in Excel 2013, refresh the data, and then save the file back to the SharePoint document library where it resides. Next time the report is viewed using Excel Services, it will have the most
recent data.

Project Server 2013 : Report table not updated with Published tables

Hello Team,
We found the issue that Publish and Reporting table have difference in work attribute. is their any way that we can refresh the Reporting table in one go.
Thanks.

If this issue is specific to one or few projects, using Save for sharing would be much more easier.
If this issue is for all the projects then as NicoOosthuysen recommended RDB refresh would be the option. Having said that you have to take extra measure before you start RDb refresh , since it is very high system resource and time consuming activity
Steps for Save for sharing
1. Open MS Project Pro 2013.
2. Open the project plan from the server.
3. Now save it locally without making changes in the File Name, using File > Share > Save For Sharing. Provide local location. Do not close Project Professional
4. Now save back the project back to server using File > Save As (Project Name should be grayed out)
5. Save and then publish the project plan.

I just received a requirement to build a report listing all the projects and their corresponding Workflow Stages/Phases in a chart. I did a chart using cube with the Project NonTimephased Data, but how will I do this with workflow stages and phases.

Hi,
Further to Andrew's reply, just thought of sharing a sql query to fetch this data as i can see "NewB" in your Avatar :)
and since this data is also not stored in a straight forward manner.
hope this helps.

Project Server 2013 SSRS reports by logged in user group

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We have developed SSRS report. We need to display the projects based on the logged in user security group(e.g Project Manager, Administrator etc.) I tried with the below query got from a forums. But it is not working. Is
there is any way to get the security group of the logged in user using SQL query.
SELECT MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_NAME, MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.RES_NAME
FROM MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS INNER JOIN
MSP_WEB_RESOURCES ON MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WRES_GUID = MSP_WEB_RESOURCES.WRES_GUID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS ON
MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUP_MEMBERS.WSEC_GRP_GUID = MSP_WEB_SECURITY_GROUPS.WSEC_GRP_GUID
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
The query above gives you a complete list of user groups and users. It does not filter by resource name/group.
You can get the logged in user using the "USer Filter" webpart, on which the SSRS report is being displayed (assuming you are displaying it on a SharePoint page). You will need to pass this as a parameter into your SSRS report.

Project Server 2013 - OOB Report do not work - Overview report...

Hi.
I have followed all of the step to configure reporting as mentioned in text book " implementing and administering project server 2013'. However after configuring the secure store, excel services, analysis service and sql 2012 I am unable to see the
OOB reports appear with information.
I have built the OLAP cube in projects service application successfully, however when I try to run the report no information appears.
What can I do to resolve?
Thanks

I assume that you have configured excel services,secure store and built OLAP cube correctly and you are also having data in your Project server.
You can open cube report and excel report, then select row column or value according the need it will display data.
If you are using report viewer and author group make sure account from which you are trying to open report will have sufficient access or you can check with service account.
Also check when you open report, you select enable data which appears in the upper ribbon of the reports.
If you still facing any issue please let us know,what exactly is the issue.

Excel 2010 reporting with Project Server 2013

Our company purchased SharePoint Server 2013 and Project Server 2013, mainly for the reporting/BI attributes. I read that the report templates, etc. that can be used by Project Server web app can only be accessed with Excel 2013?? Does that mean that our
group/customers have to upgrade to Excel 2013 to take advantage of the Excel Services? This is a huge deal. Can you please let me know as soon as possible? Yikes!! :-O

Hi,
As far as I know, Excel 2010 is still supported by Project Server 2013.

Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view. Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online. And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id.
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly). Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
If you are still facing the same issue follow the below steps:
1) Access PWA from your server
2) Download any built in report from Reports section (in your case
Project Server - Issue Data Project
Server - Risk Data) to your server.
3) Open report in excel, go to Data->Connections in Workbook Connection dialog open "Project Server - Issue Data" go to properties.
4) Here select tab 'Definition' under connection file remove tick for 'Always use connection file'
5) Tweak your connection string & tick save password option
6) Excel Services: Authentication Settings (suit yourself)
Now, save & publish on PWA, hope it works :)

Project Server 2013 - OLAP Cube Build Issues

Hi,
I have a Project Server 2013 environment with SQL Server 2012 SP1. My cube built successfully and Report Authors group (including me) were accessing the templates and Data Connections from BI centre successfully.
I re-built the cube and suddenly we all cannot access templates or data connection as it says 'Access denied'!
Went to server hosting Analysis Services and checked the role ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole and didn't see any of the check box ticked for database permissions like it was when I initially built the cube and added Report Authors group and account
that is used by Secure Store app. Membership has both account and group.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thank you,
SJ

SJ,
The access of the BI Center, templates and data connections are handled by SharePoint permissions and are usually inherited from PWA.
The ProjectServerViewOlapDataRole simply provides the ability to view the data from the OLAP database. It sounds like the issue isn't with the OLAP but rather with PWA itself. An OLAP error would have only precluded you from retrieving data.
Did someone modify the BI Center site permissions recently such as breaking inheritance?

Which sharepoint service applications & services are required for Project server 2013 to work fine.

HI,
Can any one help me,
I am planning to install project server 2013, what are the service applications and Services ( Manage services on server in central admin ) in sharepoint are required for project server 2013 to work fine, so that i will run only service
application and services to increase server performance..i don't want to configure all service applications when i am configuring.
Thanks in Advance..
vijay kommireddi

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian

What I'm trying to do is to create a new Project from the scratch, update the Issues List, not deleting or modifying columns, just creating new columns in order to match the names he (the Project Manager) put in his Issues List, then Export the list to Excel,
and then create a datasheet view matching the Exported list, but here I don't know how to import the list (copy / paste or whatsoever it can be done...)
Do you know how to do it, or do you know another/any method to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance,

The first one is that (as you experienced) one should not delete or rename any of the predefined columns in the risk/issue list. What you did is the right way, meaning keeping the native column as is and creating new ones based on the business needs. Finally
you just need to create view with the appropriate fields.
Then for importing risks from an Excel list, I can't test it right now, but you should have a datagrid view (MS Access type) allowing you pasting data from Excel.
Hope this helps,
