Background Information

When you apply the Project Center page in Project Web Access, select a project, and then click the Edit button, the system displays a page that allows you to modify the custom Project fields and outline codes associated with the project. One of these fields is the Owner field.

Resolution

The names that appear on the Owner field pick list are users who have the New Project permission. Specifically, these are users in the Project Managers, Portfolio Managers, and Administrators groups. If a user’s name does not appear on the list, following could be the cause:

·        The user is not in one of the Groups described above.

·        The user is in at least one Group in which the New Project permission is explicitly set to Deny.

·        The user is in one or more Groups, all of which have the New Project permission set to Not Allowed (neither Allow nor Deny is checked).

·        The New Project permission the user’s account is set to Deny in the Global Permission grid.
