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.

If you want to use Project Online, which is NOT the same application as Project for the Web, you will need to ask your Office 365 administrator to provision an instance of Project Online for you. He/she will then need to give you the URL of the Project Online instance. You will then need to create your Project Online login account in your copy of the Microsoft Project application, which will allow you to connect your copy of Microsoft Project to the Project Online database.
Once you have launched Microsoft Project and connected to the Project Online system, you can open the MPP file that you created, click File > Save As, and then be able to save it in the Project Online database. Once it is saved, you will also need to publish the project to make it visible for others to see in Project Web App, which is the web-based user interface to Project Online for people like team members and executives to use.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale_HowardMVP. I will reach out to my IT administrator, who is also the admin for Project Online. Will come back to you, once we have the setup done properly.
thank you so much for the guidance and the help..

Well, thanks for the good news, my friend! And you are more than welcome for the help. 🙂
By the way, if one of my replies provided the answer to your question, would you please mark my reply as the Best Response to your question? Thanks! Wanted to circle back to you and keep you informed that we have been successful in getting Project Online up and running. We got the help of the MS Tech support executive.
Thanks a lot for all the guidance in helping me out with this issue..
