System Administration

This chapter describes how to perform Project Professional’s administrative functions related to creating OLAP cubes, managing views, and creating project versions.

The system administrator has to take an active role in the Professional edition for a couple reasons. The administrator must establish a Project server’s users, groups, and security levels. Also, all the views in Web Access have to be created by the administrator, and the administrator must give specific groups of users rights to display those views. Unless otherwise specified, all functions described in this chapter require administrative rights to the Project server.
