Assign an associated resource to the user profile to connect the user with a resource in the application. Each user can have only one resource assigned, and a resource cannot be assigned to more than one user at the same time. Not all users require an associated resource, but users must have a resource assigned to enable them to edit their personal resource calendars and use P6 Team Member Web or P6 mobile. Also, by associating a resource with a user, the user will be able to see all projects to which the resource is assigned using the Activities page in P6 if the user is assigned Contributor module access.
To assign an associated resource:
- Click Administration.
- On the Administration navigation bar, click User Administration.
- On the User Administration page, click Users.
- On the Users page:
- Select a user.
- In the Associated Resource field, double-click and click Select.
- In the Select Resource dialog box, select a resource and click Select.
Note: In Native Authentication mode, the user's Personal Name will be updated to match the Resource Name. Otherwise, the Resource Name will be updated to match the user's Personal Name.
- On the Users page, click Save.
Tip:
- If the resource you need to assign to the user does not yet exist, you can create one quickly by clicking Row Actions and then click Create Resource.
