I know there are two way in PWA to sync the AD group to the project server. But I am very confused what the deference is.
When I set sync the AD groups in sever settings-> Manager Group here, is the user here cannot be a resource default? And for this situation, the user won’t be appeared in the Resource Center? If I want him to be a resource, then
I need to change the settings in here Server Setting-> Manage User, and check the box of ‘user can be as a resource’, something like that.
In a word, I want to figure out the way the resource comes from.
I got the following which I think it make sense but I need to further explanation:
- ‘A user is not necessarily a resource. For example your CEO will most likely not be acting as a resource in your global resource pool, but he still wants to view data in project server. That means he is
a user but no resource.A global non generic work resource will on the other hand always be a user since the resource also needs a user log on. In summary you should map users that are part of your global resource pool to the resource pool synchronization and
they should also be assigned to a user group to map them to the right user group for access and security purposes.
Thank all the experts very much!
With great power comes great responsibility.
