Project Server for Administrators is a one-day instructor-led class aimed at those who will be responsible for administering and maintaining the Project Server. This is an advanced class that assumes users are already familiar with the general functionality of Project Professional and Project Web Access. Major topics include setting up users and projects, implementing a security model, generating the OLAP cube, creating custom views, and system maintenance.

Who should attend?

This class is targeted at Project Server administrators and PMO staff who will be involved in customizing Project Server setup and maintaining the Project Server environment.

You'll learn how to:

  • Migrate projects and resources from previous versions of MS Project
  • Create user accounts and determine authentication and login procedures
  • Apply and modify security templates
  • Work with Categories and Groups to control access to data and features
  • Determine availability of features to the organization
  • Set defaults for Notifications and Reminder Service
  • Lockdown tracking method and period settings as appropriate
  • Generate an OLAP cube and create Portfolio Analyzer views
  • Create additional custom views and define view access
  • Understand which settings are controlled by Enterprise Global and which by PWA Admin
  • Check-In Projects and Resources
  • Additional topics as requested

Project Server for Administrators is fine-tuned to target the status of the customer's implementation, i.e., whether early in the pilot or well into deployment. Portions of this course will be modified depending on whether or not Custom Enterprise Outline Codes have been defined, the OLAP cube has already been generated, and custom views have already been defined. Since this class is often presented to very small groups, there is normally leeway to address specific issues of relevance to administrators in their real-world deployment.
