Tell your IT admin to specify the Project Permissions mode in Project Online after the instance is set up, and then to add you to the Project Managers security group. He/she will need to perform those two actions before you will be able to use Project Online. Hope this additional info helps.

You are going about this all wrong! The first thing you need to do is to create your Project Online login account in your copy of Microsoft Project by completing the steps referenced in the following blog post:
https://ppmworks.com/log-on-to-project-web-app/
Then you need to exit Microsoft Project, relaunch the software, and click the OK button in the Login dialog. You can now open your project, click File > Save As, and then save the project to Project Online.
Hope this helps.

I have an Office365 account and am able to login into Project Online (project.microsoft.com).
The following is what I initially did when I got the subscription to Project Online.
1. I went to my account in Office365
2. Downloaded the Microsoft Project Professional
3. From then on, I have been using the downloaded client for preparing or updating the project plans.
4. I got my IT colleague to provide access to Sharepoint.
5. I was able to save a copy of the plan online, but i don't remember how i went about getting it done.- Aug 24, 2022robertpoddar --
Well, you have an even bigger mess than I realized. The URL project.microsoft.com is for the new Project for the Web application and NOT for Project Online. And you DO NOT need a copy of the Microsoft Project desktop to use Project for the Web.
Since it sounds like you need to be using Project for the Web, I would recommend that you import your MPP file into Project for the Web, and then stop using Microsoft Project entirely. You should be using Project for the Web for all of your projects moving forward.
Hope this helps.- robertpoddarAug 24, 2022Copper Contributoroh!.. thank you so much.. I was kind of lost and was trying out options to get the plan online. I assumed that it needs to be on Sharepoint after which I can share it with the stakeholders. Will definitely take a look at Project for Web.
I should have asked you, before going through the above steps 🙂
