Secure access to resource data is defined in the Project Management module for each Primavera user. Typically, resource access privileges are defined by a P6 administrator.
In areas of P6 Web Access that display resources, you will be able to view and work with data only for resources that belong to the access node associated with your user account.
Note: Because the View Role Usage page displays role, not resource data, resource security does not apply. Resource security also does not apply to Timesheet Approval. Your ability to review timesheets depends on your designation as the resource's approval manager, regardless of your resource access node.
When viewing resource data, if you organize resources by role, resource team, or resource code, the list of resources includes only the resources in that category that you have access to. For example, when organized by resource team, the hierarchy lists all members of the team that you have access to. If the team includes resources that do not belong to your resource access node, they will not be listed. When a Resources page displays total values at the role, resource code, or resource team level, the total value is the sum only of the values for the resources you have access to.
When viewing pages or portlets that display project-specific data, such as the Projects > Activities page, you can view and work with the project's resources in addition to the resources that belong to your access node.
For example, when assigning resources to activities, the list of resources you can select from includes all resources that belong to your resource access node, plus all current project resources that are not a part of your access node. In the list of available resources, these project resources are listed and grouped separately from resources that are part of your access node.
Tip: Project resources that belong to your access node are listed twice. Once within your access node and once again within the Project Resources node.
In this context, current project resources include
- the project owner
- resources assigned to the project or to a WBS element or activity within the project
- resources designated as the owner of a project issue, project risk, or project document
Tip: A resource whose only project association is to be the designated owner of a workgroup issue is not considered to be a project resource in this context.
