1) Usually the URL is something like http://servername/pwa (although it can
vary depending on how the system was set up).
2) From a security standpoint, generally I would make sure all users accessing
Project Server through Project Professional would be in the Project Managers
Group. Check the Project Managers group for specific permissions, but it
should be something like "Login to PWA," "Connect with Project Professional,"
etc.
3) Then you need to configure the server to support opening of specific projects.
The default out of the box settings may work for you, but if you need to
get more complex than that, you'll probably need a crash course in Project
Server security configuration.
My recommendation is to see how far you can get on your own with the online
materials available from Microsoft and this newsgroup. Consider purchasing
one of the books out now for Admin of Project Server - of which I think there're
two that I am aware of currently. Once you get the book, walk through it
while sitting in front of a sandbox environment.
Also consider enrolling in an offering of Project Server 2010 training, now
being offered both virtually and in person - or perhaps engaging a local
MSFT partner for a mentoring sesion.
