MS Team Members View Only without Project License
Orion231 --
I would recommend that you discuss your licensing needs with your Microsoft licensing specialist to make sure that your organization is in compliance with Microsoft licensing requirements. Trying to get an answer about licensing in this user forum will generate only an opinion, not a firm answer. Hope this helps.
We are in compliance with MS Licensing. The issue is the setup around Sharepoint and Project permissions from what I can tell. The information is so limited that there isn't a clear answer on how to set it up.. From everything I have found, Teams members that don't have project licenses are supposed to have view only access to project schedules and they don't. So, I am not asking a question about licensing, I am asking how to sort out the conflict between Sharepoint and Project permissions and to get it set up.

From your description, it sounds like the Project Online users are team members in projects and not project managers. If that is the case, you will need to ask your Project Online application administrator to add them as users/resources in PWA and to assign them a Project Essentials license. This is a license that is specifically for team members in Project Online. Hope this helps.access schedule task as SharePoint tasklist in PRoject associated site
