Background Information
Some organizations do not want resources to use the toolbar buttons on the My
Tasks page. These buttons offer features such as Delete, Reassign Work, or
Self-Assign Team Tasks. To prevent resources from accessing these features
using the toolbar, an organization may want to hide the toolbar on the My Tasks
page.
Resolution
To hide the toolbar from users on the My Tasks page in Project Web Access,
the Project Server administrator must complete the following steps:
1. Log into
Project Web Access with administrator permissions.
2. Click Server
Settings - My Tasks.
3. Click the
Site Actions pick list (upper right corner) and select the Edit Page item.
4. In the My
Tasks web part, click the Edit pick list and select the Modify Shared Web Part
item.
5. In the My
Tasks pane on the right, scroll down and expand the Project Web Access section.
6. In the
Project Web Access section of the pane, deselect the "Show Toolbar" option.
7. Click the OK
button.
8. Click the
Exit Edit Mode button in the upper right corner of the page.
9. Navigate to
the PWA Home page and return to the My Tasks page again.
You need to do the last step by clicking the My Tasks link in
the Quick Launch menu to get the toolbar to actually disappear on the My Tasks
page.
Warning: Keep in mind that hiding the
toolbar on the My Tasks page will not totally prevent your users from accessing
the features on the toolbar. They can still access these features by using
the Actions menu. There is no way to prevent users from accessing the
Actions menu on the My Tasks page.
