    Hello all,

    I use MS-Project Server 2010 and have one group of user that shall only see "Project Center" and "Resource Center" in the Quick Launch Itemlist.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    Tobias

    Are these users all included in a single security Group in PWA?  This security Group can either be a custom Group or a default Groups whose permissions you had edited.  If the answer is yes, that might be the source of the issue.  Click Server Settings > Manage Groups and then click the name of the Group to open it for editing.  In the Global Permissions data grid, check to confirm that there are no Deny permissions.  Beyond this, confirm that they DO have permissions set to Allow in the View section of the Global Permissions grid, in addition to other permissions they need for their daily work.  Let us know if this helps.

    You control some of the View Settings from the Global Permissions of a group setting.

    Hi Tobias

               I think what you are asking for is not possible configruation-wise, because the Project Server--> Server Settings --> Quick Launch --> only allows the changes made to be at the site level irrespective of Groups & Categories, you have.  So, in my knowledge nope its not possible.

                        And I am not sure of but you can get the proper answer from

                               "Project Customization and Programming"

    Just check it out once.

    Hi all,

    thanks for the Feedback, but I think Manish is right that there is no solution for the problem. You can only change the Quick Launch for all and not for a group of people.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,

    Tobias

    Tobias,

    • As a test try this.
      Create a Security Group in Project Server.. name it as "Quick Launch Control"
      Under the Group's Global Settings, for the "View" options, select "DENY" for the following: 


      View Approvals
      View Business Intelligence Link
      View OLAP Data
      View Task Center
      View Business Intelligence
      View Team Builder
      View Timesheets.

      Now assign a user to this group, and check their Quick Launch.

    Hello Prasanna,

    I tried this - I denied the following:

    View Approvals
    View Business Intelligence Link
    View OLAP Data
    View Project Center
    View Project Schedule Views
    View Resource Availabilty
    View Resource Center
    View Task Center
    View Team Builder
    View Timesheets

    After this the testuser has only following links in the Quick Launch:

    My Work (Issues and Risks)

    Libraries (Shared Documents, Site Pages)

    Best regards,
    Tobias

    So does this bring you any closer to what you are looking for? All you have to do from here is to asssign users the New Group you created!

    Hello Prasanna,

    thank you - yes a little bit. I can now think about don't show the "My Work" and "Libraries" for all...

    Best regards,

    Hello Tobias

    While colleagues have suggested multiple workarounds / options, i think other option you may want to try could be using a Link webpart with audience targetting, which then displays the link based on audience profile, and assuming in backend you are already configuring the security group & categories so that even user hits the link directly in browser he doesn't gets access to it
