Hi Laurent,

 

If the PM has edit access to the project, they can see / update costs to. If you limited them to only edit project plans in Project Online PWA and you were using the Project Permission mode you could ensure they only have access to Project PWA views that had no costs fields included. But if they are editing projects via Project Desktop they will be able to edit local views and see / edit all fields.

Hello Paul, 

Thank you very much, 

The point is that our prospect comes from a solution where costs were hidden to project managers, and displayed for service managers. 

So this might represent a regression for them, using MS Project. 

 

Any idea to manage costs "outside" MS Project ? 

Perhaps using Power BI capabilities  ?

 

Thank you

Laurent.
