If you are going to be editing enterprise resources, your Project Online application administrator needs to add you to the default Administrators group in PWA. For the user in question who will be performing project manager duties, you need to add this person to the default Project Managers group in PWA. If you want this person to be able to open and edit specific projects, such as the projects you want her to manage, you will need to open the project for editing from the Project Center page in PWA, and designate her as the Owner of the project. You will then need to save and publish each of those projects. The default permissions in the Project Managers group only allow project managers to open and edit the projects in which they are the Owner. Hope this helps.

Hi Dale, Thank you for your response. I will look into it and do some tests. I think what you mentioned here is probably the issue:
"The default permissions in the Project Managers group only allow project managers to open and edit the projects in which they are the Owner."
Will update the post when I have it figured out!
Thanks!
