For each user, you perform the following steps to implement access to P6 Professional.
Note: Personal information (PI) may be stored in this area of P6 EPPM.
Administrators should refer to the Consent Notices section of the Application Administration Guide. All other users of P6 EPPM should refer to the Consent notices section of the Help.
- Choose Admin, Users.
- Click Add to add a user.
- On the General tab:
- Enter the user's login name and personal name.
- Click Password to enter the user's password. The minimum password requirements depend on the status of the password policy, and are described in the Change Password dialog box.
- On the Global Access tab:
- Assign a global security profile to the user. Global security profiles determine the global actions the user can perform and are defined in the Security Profiles dialog box (choose Admin, Security Profiles).
- Enable or disable resource security for the user. To enable access to all resources, mark the All Resource Access checkbox (Admin Superusers automatically get All Resource Access). To restrict resource access to specific resource nodes, select up to five resource nodes. To disable access to all resources, clear the All Resource Access checkbox (if necessary), and do not select a resource node.
- On the Project Access tab, click Assign to assign the user to an OBS element (responsible manager), then select an existing project security profile.
This grants the user access to WBS elements (and associated activities) for which the assigned OBS element is responsible, in all projects. For the projects the user can access based on the user's OBS assignment, the project security profile determines the actions the user can perform for these projects. - On the Module Access tab, mark the checkbox for P6 Professional. This enables the user to access the application.
Notes
- Only an Admin Superuser can add, edit, or delete Admin Superusers or change an Admin Superuser's password.
- Only an Admin Superuser can apply the Admin Superuser profile to a user. Any user with the Add/Edit/Delete Users privilege can apply the Project Superuser profile to a user.
