Hello,

So you could use the Project permission mode, prevent Project Managers connecting using Project Desktop so that they only use PWA to edit / view projects in views where cost columns are not displayed then Service Managers use Project Desktop and or PWA to view / edit projects and have view in PWA that display costs?

There are plenty of options for handling costs outside of project but it really depends on the business requirements. You could build something in SharePoint lists on the associated project site, build something in PowerApps (model or canvas) or build an application in Azure and store the data in an Azure SQL DB.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for the tips.

As far as i know, my client needs some kind of light reporting for costs budgeting around projects.

So handling costs outside of project may be the best solution.

Hello,

If it is high level project costs then that would be fairly easy to build a solution outside of Project, even using something as simple as a SharePoint list on the Project Sites etc.
