Certain Project Preferences, such as editing Publication Priority, require additional privileges. To assign a project baseline, users must also have the 'Assign Project Baselines' project privilege assigned to their profile. To edit cost UDFs, users must also have the 'Edit WBS Costs/Financials' project privilege assigned to their profile.

Add/Edit/Delete WBS Except Costs/Financials option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to create, modify, and remove WBS hierarchy nodes and other WBS level data including notebook entries, earned value settings, milestones, and dates. This privilege does not allow users to edit cost and financial data at the WBS level.

Edit WBS Costs/Financials option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to modify Project or WBS budget logs, funding sources, spending plan, and financial data at the project level. To edit costs and financials at the WBS level, including cost UDFs, users must also have the ‘Add/Edit/Delete WBS Except Costs/Financials' project privilege assigned to their profile. The ‘Edit WBS Costs/Financials' privilege also selects the 'View Project Costs/Financials' project privilege.

View Project Costs/Financials option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to display all monetary values for projects. For users who do not have this privilege assigned to their profile, all areas that display monetary values will display dashes and cannot be edited. To use the Recalculate Assignment Costs feature, users must also have the 'Add/Edit Activities Except Relationships' project privilege assigned to their profile. To display the resource price/unit, users must have the 'View Resource and Role Costs/Financials' global privilege assigned to their profile.

Delete Project Data with Timesheet Actuals option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to delete activities and resource assignments for projects that have timesheet actuals. This includes cutting an activity with timesheet actuals and pasting the activity to another project. To delete project data at all different levels (activity, WBS, project, and EPS), users must also have the appropriate privileges assigned to their profile. For example, to delete activities with timesheet actuals, users must also have the 'Delete Activities' project privilege assigned to their profile. To delete activities and WBS nodes with timesheet actuals, users must additionally have the 'Add/Edit/Delete WBS Except Costs/Financials' project privilege assigned to their profile.

Delete Published Project Data option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to delete published project data using the Delete Published Data action on the EPS page.

Export Project Data option

Determines whether the profile will enable users to export project data and download data to Excel using the Download link below grids. This privilege also conveys the ability to copy and paste data out of the project or EPS node.
