Office Servers February CU and the Project Server Database Versions table
March 9th, 2010
One thing worth pointing out regarding the February CU for Project Server, is that we made no changes to the database schema as part of this cumulative update, and this means no update in the Versions table either. One usual way to see which update you have loaded is to look at the Versions table in each database – but for the 4 Project Server databases you will still see the version from the December CU (even if you didn’t load the December CU – remember these are cumulative – the clue is in the name - so we will have updated when loading the February CU with the December changes.
The result is that the Versions table will show 6524.5000 – the December CU version, and to see if February CU has been loaded you will need to look at add/remove programs or check the assembly version of Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA.dll, which will show 6529.5000.
For the client you will see the version of Microsoft Office Project 2007 of 12.0.6529.5000 with SP2 DSO of 12.0.6425.1000).
My colleague Dragos has already posted this topic on the French Project support blog at http://blogs.technet.com/frenchpjblog/archive/2010/03/09/version-des-bases-de-donn-es-project-server-apr-s-l-installation-du-cumulative-update-de-f-vrier-2010.aspx and he also points out that you will see the Feb CU version in the Versions table of the Windows SharePoint Services databases – just not the Project ones. Thanks Dragos for posting and also for reminding me that this is a good thing to blog.
In the next few days I hope to find time to start posting a few topics around Project 2010 and Project Server 2010, particularly some recently found ‘by design’ features that may catch out some upgraders from 2007.

Project Server 2010 – Controlling the Project Permissions Feature
March 6th, 2010
Project Permissions
Project Server 2010 includes the new Project Permission feature so that by-default, Project Managers can directly control who has access to the projects that they own. For more information about the Project Permissions feature, see the Project Server 2010 – Project Permissions blog posting.
How to Control Access to the Feature
The ability to directly add or remove permissions to a project is controlled by the Manage Basic Project Security category permission. Given that this is a category permission, it means that it is possible to grant this permission for one project yet deny it for another project or more commonly, to grant it for a group of projects yet deny it for a different group of projects.
By default, the following groups have the Manage Basic Project Security permission enabled on the noted category:
|
Group |
Category |
|
Administrators |
My Organization |
|
Portfolio Manager |
My Organization |
|
Project Managers |
My Projects |
How do you enable or disable this permission? The following steps show you how you could, for example, deny Portfolio Managers from creating project permissions. A similar approach is taken to enable or remove the permission for a group or user.
-
Log on to Project Web App as an administrator or as a user who has the Manage Users and Groups permission
-
Go to Server Settings – Manage Groups.
-
Click on the name of the group that you wish to edit. This action will take you to the Add or Edit Group page.
-
In the Categories section of the page, in the “Select Categories” list on the right-hand side, select the category. In this example, it is the My Organization category. You’ll see a view similar to this:
-
If the group does not have any other categories assigned to it, then you can simply deselect the “Allow” checkbox. Otherwise, you’ll need repeat this for each category. If you always want to disallow members of the Portfolio Managers group from using the project permissions feature not matter whether other categories allow it, then you can click the Deny check box.
-
Once your selections are made, click the Save button.
As noted, you can use a similar process to add the Manage Basic Project Security permission to other users or groups. But do note that that though you can control this permission directly on a category on a user account, for easier manageability it is recommended that you control this at the security group level.
