Default Adding new users

Hi,

I'm new to this project server/sharepoint 2007 thing, so I apologize if my question is obvious. Anyways, so far I got everything installed and working. But I have a question about "adding" new users to projects.

So from the user page, I would just add a user to create an account. Then when I tell them to login, it says access denied for them. However, I noticed that once I add them as a resource under the resource center (but not associating them as a resource to any particular project), they are able to log in. I was just wondering if this is normal, and if so why is it like that?

Thank you for your help in advance.

banana,

Which "user page" are you using? Server Settings > Manage Users or Site Actions > Site Settings > People and Groups?

Yep -- you're making a user through the SharePoint interface, which isn't correlated to Project Server groups/categories/permissions.

You need to use the first option (Server Settings > Manage Users), which will handle the creation of a SharePoint user on your behalf.

Also note that in the Manage Users screen you can set a user up to not be a resource, just like you can set a resource to not be able to login (i.e. not be a user).
