Project Online - Project Owner is changing to another User automatically

[AaronDemenge]

Project Online - I have a project in PoL and the Owner is changing to a different user automatically. I will change it back to myself but then after a little time it will automatically change to another usres. What could be causing this?  Has anyone ever seen this?

I'm also facing the same issue. Did you find any solution for this ?

@Ambrose_John No, I never got any responses to this post. I've seen it at a couple clients now in the last couple years and have not been able to pinpoint the root cause nor have I been able to find out if it's a known issue.

This was a known issue with Project Online and Microsoft Project Server in the past. It was addressed through a system update. I have not run into this issue personally in quite a long time. If your clients are using Microsoft Project Server, I would recommend you confirm that their system is completely updated with the latest software updates. If the issue persists, then I recommend opening a ticket with Microsoft Support and letting them work with your clients to resolve the problem. Hope this helps.

@AaronDemenge This happened to me when one project had more than 1 user with write permissions when the project plans are overwritten from MS Project. If user A overwrites the plan from MS Project the Owner will became user A, same happens when user B overwrites the plan, user B becomes the Owner.

Let me know if this was your case.

Hi Dale,

My Project Online version is currently Project Professional 2013: 15.0.9999.1000

Do you think setting my version to Project Professional 2016: 16.0.4266.1000 will solve my issue ?

I honestly do not know. But it might be worth a try.
