Hi David,
Project server's licencing works on each and every user that has the
log on permission. So i could suggest creating a diff group , with its
own security template
Category etc. Add these users to that group and apply the security
template to the group. They will be able to be assigned to tasks but
cannot log onto the server, all reporting would still be able
done on these resources.
Regards
Andre

Re: Inactive Resources
Thanks Andre,
That's probably the way to go - I didn't really notice the security setting
to Deny the logon, so I'll just set that. Still, it seems a bit of a strange
implementation in that there is a separate "Resource can logon to Project
Server" checkbox that is unable to be cleared once it is set on.
