Managing Project Baselines

To manage project baselines, a user must have one of the following licenses:

Project Management
Configuration

In addition to a required license, a user must also have one of the following access grants to manage project baselines:

Manage Work Plan Baselines. The Manage Work Plan Baselines access grant (in addition to the grants required to edit work plan information) allows users to create and manage work plan baselines.
Manage All Work Plan Baselines. The Manage All Work Plan Baselines access grant allows users to manage baselines, even if the user cannot otherwise edit the work plan.

Note: To strictly limit who can take baselines to a small group, you can remove the Managing Work Plan Baselines access grant from all users, and then provide the Manage All Work Plan Baselines grant to the small central group. This prevents a project manager from baselining his or her own project, thereby centralizing control.
