We have ProjectServer2003 and in our configuration only the administrator appears to have the rights to 'change owner' of a project in the system via the 'edit project' option in PWA project centre. Does anyone know if this function can be configured as part of a user group so we can distibute the function - none of the configurable security settings appear to refer to this particular right.
Graeme -- In the future, please post your Project Server questions to the microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup, as this newsgroup is closing down. To answer your question, you would need to grant the Manage Enterprise Features permission to anyone you want allow to set the Owner field for a project in the Project Center page in PWA. The downside of doing this, however, is that anyone with the Manage Enterprise Features permission can see both the Admin menu and the Admin - Manage enterprise features submenus in PWA. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

Thanks Dale, sounds promising although I agree we need to consider if we want the side effects you state.
