Colleagues not able to see projects in Project Center

There are 6 members of my team who have all been given admin permission to our Project plan (so everyone can add their annual leave to the Resource Center), however some members cannot see some projects in the Project Center, even though they have the same access and permission levels as me.

Everyone can see the Master project and one or two enterprise plans, but only I can see the other enterprise plans (I created them).

When I try to share a project, I get a pop up saying 'There is no site configured for this project'. What does this mean and does a site need to be configured? If so, how?

Let me know if you need any further details.

Thanks

    I've just discovered that the projects that my colleagues can't see are subprojects - not sure why or how they are set up differently to the others, but I've worked out that my colleagues just need to check the 'subprojects' box to see them!

    I think you may be doing something wrong. How did you give these users admin permissions? The correct way to do this is to add them to the default Administrators security group in PWA. When you do that, they will automatically be given permissions to view all published projects in the Project Center page in PWA. There is no need to "share" the projects with anyone. Hope this helps.

      Thanks for your response Dale.
      The users are administrators for PWA (they have the same permissions as me) but they can't see all of the published projects in the Project Center. I need to check with them tomorrow, but I think they can see the projects or some of the projects in the PWA (https://project.microsoft.com/...) but not in our Sharepoint site

      Hi Dale,
      I can confirm that my colleages can see the projects in the PWA and open them in the Project Center, but they can't see/access them directly from the Project Center and therefore can't edit them in the desktop app. Any ideas?
      Thanks so much,
      Naomi
