Can we hide Administrative Time tasks from some users in Project Server?

Question

I don't want to show Administrative time tasks to some user in project server.

How can we hide it? By default, all user can see set of administrative tasks.

Answer 1

In project server with Project Permission Mode enabled, you can control the PWA setting Links for a specific user by managing his Global permission by doing the following:

• Open PWA Settings.
• Security > Users.
• Global Permissions > Select the Permission you need > Check Allow or Deny.

But unfortunately, you can't manage the permission for a specific link because the links have been grouped in main category.

So In your case, you need to hide Administrative Time below Time and Task Management in PWA Settings for a specific user.

So, you should first

• Specify the main category in global permission that holds Administrative Time that is Manage Time Tracking

• Check on Deny.

• Go back yo your PWA setting, you will note that Administrative Time has been hidden.

Let's abbreviate the above discussion,

• You can manage global permission for a specific user to control PWA settings.
• You can't only manage permission for a specific link like Administrative Time,Meanwhile you can deny its main category(Group of PWA setting links) Manage Time Tracking.

• Deny Manage Time Tracking in global permission, will lead to losing other links like

  • Line Classifications
  • Timesheet Settings and Defaults
  • Administrative Time
  • Task Settings and Display
  • Timesheet Managers
