Background Information
The project manager creates an enterprise project, builds a
project team using the Build Team dialog, assigns resources to tasks, and then
publishes the project. The project manager can now see the task assignments for
all team members on his/her My Tasks page in Project Web Access, while the team
members cannot see any of the tasks on their My Tasks pages.
This problem is caused by the Project Server administrator
failing to specify a value in the Default Assignment Owner field for every
resource in the Enterprise Resource Pool. When an enterprise resource has no
specified Default Assignment Owner value, Project Server 2007 assumes that the
project manager is the Assignment Owner for each task, forcing the tasks to
appear on the project manager’s My Tasks page instead of on the My Tasks page
for each resource.
Resolution
The Project Server administrator must immediately complete
the following steps:
1. Log into Project Web Access with administrator
permissions.
2. Navigate to the Resource Center page.
3. Click the View pick list and select the
Work Resources view.
4. Select the option checkbox to the left of each human
resource.
5. Click the Edit Details button.
6. Copy the name of the resource in the Display Name
field and then paste the name in the Default Assignment Owner
field.
7. Click the Save and Continue button.
8. Repeat steps #6-7 for every selected resource.
To resolve the problem in the individual project, the project
manager must complete the following steps as well:
1. Open the enterprise project.
2. Click View > Resource Usage.
3. Right-click on the first column to the right of the
Resource Name column and select the Insert Column item from the
shortcut menu.
4. Click the Field Name pick list and select
the Assignment Owner field, and then click the OK
button.
5. For the first task assignment of the first resource on the
list, click in the Assignment Owner cell for the task, click
the pick list in the cell, and select the resource’s name from the list.
6. Press the Enter key on the keyboard.
7. In the Assignment Owner column, select the first task
edited in step #5 and then select all other tasks assigned to the first
resource.
8. Click Edit > Fill > Down.
9. Repeat steps #5-8 for every human resource listed in the
Resource Usage view.
10. Click File > Publish.
11. Save and close the enterprise project.
