![]() Using groups to control Project Web App permissions simplifies security administration in Project Web App. After you define your groups, you can add users to the groups and grant permissions to the groups permissions assigned to groups apply to all of the users that the group contains. For example, every project manager in a particular division within your organization may need the same set of Project Server permissions, while executives or resource managers might have different needs.ĭefine your groups by identifying common needs based on the areas of Project Web App to which users in your organization need access. Groups contain sets of users who have similar functionality needs. This helps to reduce the volume of day-to-day administrative tasks required, and can simplify troubleshooting permissions issues. After you define groups, the permissions associated with the groups, and group memberships, the day-to-day administration of users, groups, and categories involves adding users to or removing users from security groups. Create the groups and define the set of permissions to associate with the groups as part of your initial Project Server deployment planning process, before you assign users to groups and groups to categories. You can use groups to assign permissions to multiple users with a single action. Select the Deny check box to prevent a user from outside the organization from accessing Project Server security objects or to deny functionality to a user or group).įor organizations that include a large number of users, assigning and administering permissions on an individual basis can be an overwhelming task. ![]() Therefore, use caution when selecting the Deny check box. The Deny setting enables you to deny access to functionality, because this setting overrides the Allow setting. Limiting your use of the Deny setting can simplify permissions management for large groups of users. It is important to consider when you are configuring a permission to Deny that the Deny setting supersedes any Allow settings that apply to the user for that permission by means of other group memberships. If a user belongs to more than one group, and a permission is set to Not Allow for one group and is set to Allow (but not Deny) for another group, then the user is allowed to perform the actions associated with the permission. Not Allow If you select neither Allow nor Deny for a permission, the default state is Not Allow. No permissions are set to Deny by default. Note that if a user is denied a specific permission, the deny setting supersedes any Allow settings that might apply to other groups to which the user belongs. ![]() Permissions can be configured in the following ways:Īllow Enables users or group members to perform the actions associated with the permission.ĭeny Prevents a user or group from performing the actions associated with the permission. You can configure all Project Server permissions by choosing Project Web App Settings from the Project Web App Settings menu. However, if the permission is explicitly denied anywhere, permission is denied everywhere for a particular user or group. For example, a user might belong to one group for which permission is not configured (Not Allowed), but might be granted permission by means of membership in a group for which the permission is allowed. The Not Allow state does not prevent users from accessing the feature associated with the permission if they are granted permission in some other way. If neither the Allow nor the Deny check boxes are selected, the default state is Not Allow. You can allow or deny permissions by selecting the check boxes in the Allow and Deny columns. Permissions can be set in a number of different places within Project Web App. Category Permissions are assigned on a category level. Global Permissions are assigned on a user or group level.Ĭategory Permissions grant users and groups the ability to perform actions on specific projects and resources. Global Permissions grant users and groups the ability to perform actions throughout an instance of Project Web App. There are two types of permissions in Project Server: For example, the Change Password permission can be allowed or denied for any given user or group. You canAllow, Deny, or not configure each permission in Project Server. ![]() Resource Breakdown Structure in Project Web AppĪ permission is the authority to perform a specific action within the context of Project Server. If you are using SharePoint permission mode as your security model, see Plan SharePoint groups in Project Server. This article addresses planning for groups and categories in a Project Server deployment. Applies to: Project Server Subscription Edition, Project Server 2019, Project Server 2016, Project Server 2013 Summary: In Project Server permission mode, Project Web App security is based on users, groups, and categories.
