Adding or modifying a user account
- To add, modify, delete, or merge user accounts, point to Admin on
the menu bar, and then click Users.
- To add a user, click Add User.
- To modify, delete, or merge user accounts, click a user name, and then
click Modify User, Delete User, or Merge User Accounts.
- Enter the requested user information in the area below the table of users,
including authentication options. Learn more about setting
up authentication options.
- Click Save Changes to update the user information in the Microsoft Project Central
database.
Notes
- To modify categories to set permissions for what users can see in the
Views page of Microsoft Project Central, point to Admin on the
menu bar, and then click Manage Views.
- You should only merge user accounts when two accounts actually belong to the same person. If you merge user accounts that actually refer to
two different people, data conflicts could be created in the database.
- Creating certain types of status reports or assignments can cause merging
conflicts. For example, when you create a group status report or a task
delegation whose lead role is maintained by someone else, the server
administrator will not be able to merge
user accounts for those who are sent the same status report, even if the
report or request is deleted from the database. Otherwise, a
conflict could be created in the database.
- Before you merge two user accounts, the managers first need to update their Microsoft Project files so they refer
to the correct single user account. After the Microsoft Project files are updated, you can then
merge the accounts on the Users page. If you merge the accounts before the
managers have removed one of the merged accounts, you may have to merge the
accounts again.
