Understanding Project SharePoint Integration
- Mar 08, 2019
Hello,
Project Online is a feature built in SharePoint Online, Project Online consists of 2 features for end users to interact with the data, Project Online Desktop and Project Web App (PWA). Project Online Desktop works with Project Online and is the desktop tool for creating and editing projects. PWA is the web interface for Project Online that also enables users to create / edit projects etc., this is the SharePoint site collection. It's a special SharePoint Online site collection that whilst it is SharePoint it has it's own access model. There are two options, the default SharePoint permission mode or the Project permission mode. Here is a really quick getting started guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/projectonline/get-started-with-project-online
Data created in Project Online such as Projects are stored in the Project Online tables inside the SharePoint Online content database.
Hope that helps
Paul
Thanks for your response, Paul. I checked and the default PWA is using SharePoint Permissions mode. I know how to see the members in the Sharepoint site collection groups, but is there a way as a Sharepoint admin to see which users are "on the projects team" for a given Project stored in the PWA?
Hello,
Yes, the PWA admin (or users that have access to the project) can either check this is in PWA or Project Online Desktop client.
- In PWA, access the Project Center, select the project row, then on the Projects tab click "Build Team". On the right hand side of the grid it will show you the resources that are on the Project Team
- In Project Online Desktop Client, open the project then Press Ctrl+T (short cut for build team), then on the right hand side of the pop up you will see the Project Resources
Repeat for each project you need to check.
