- In the OBS Name field, double-click and type a unique name.
- Click the Users detail window.
- Click Add.
- In the Users detail window, remove or assign users to the OBS.
- To remove a user from the OBS, select a user, click Row Actions and click Delete.
- To assign users to the OBS, click Assign....
- In the Select Users dialog box:
- Select a Project Security Profile.
- Select users and click Select.
- When you are finished assigning users, click Close.

Tips
- When you set up enterprise project structure (EPS) nodes, a root OBS is automatically assigned to the root EPS.
- When you create a new project, the default responsible manager is automatically assigned so that an OBS element is available for each work breakdown structure (WBS) element added to the project.
