Can a resource manager directly assign a resource to a project without creating a project resource request?
Yes. Click the Create Assignment action on the Manage Project Resource Assignments page in the Project Resources work area and enter the assignment details for a single or multiple assignments. Then submit and approve the assignments.
The application creates project resource requests as described in the following table.

The name of the request is a combination of the resource name and the assignment start date.
The assignment appears on the resource's schedule and on the Manage Project Resources page in the Project Management work area.
Only resource managers with the Approve Project Resource Assignment to Project security privilege can perform this action.
