Configure user access to Resource Management tools using a custom access level

  2. Click the gear icon on the View or Edit button to the right of Resource Management, then select the abilities you want to grant under Fine-tune your settings.

    Edit priorities and budget hours in the Planner

    Allows users with this license to do the following:

    Prioritize projects in the Resource Planner.

    Budget allocation for resources in the Resource Planning tools (the Resource Planner and the Resource Budgeting section in the Business Case of a project.)

    This option is enabled by default.

    After the access level is created, you can assign it to a user. For more information, see Edit a user’s profile.

Access to Resource Management by license type

For information about what users in each access level can do with Resource Management, see the section Resource Management in the article Functionality available for each object type.

Access to shared issues

When you share an object with another user, the recipient’s rights to budget or view resource allocation on it are determined by a combination of 3 things:

  • The recipient’s access level setting for Resource Management
  • The user’s access to financial data, as explained in Grant access to financial data
  • Any permissions to financial data that the sharer granted for the object

For information about permissions users can grant to financial data on an object when sharing the object, see Share financial permissions on an object.
