Hi Rod it sounds like you are just granting SharePoint permissions as you talk about sites. You'll need a project level 3 license and project web app permissions. Go to pwa settings and ensure you are in the administrators group as well. project web app uses its own set of permissions. Well I am assuming you are in project server permissions mode ....

I have the exact problem. Can you point us a doc link on how to set PWA permission to get the proper permission?

Thanks!

I'm having the same/similar issue as rodfrey. But I don't have access to the sharepoint server or our company's Project Online (PWA?) console. Our current admin inherited it.

thank you
