Updating Tasks

You can determine which users can record progress on their assigned work plan tasks by using the licenses and access grants listed in Table 6-4. Settings required to update tasks and Table 6-5. Settings to restrict a user from updating tasks.

Table 6-4. Settings required to update tasks
Setting	Value	Description
License	Project Management or Configuration Time Management	The Project Management, Time Management, and Configuration licenses let resources update progress on their assigned tasks in the My Tasks portlet. The Time Management license allows unassigned resources to log time against the project through Time Management (if the project settings allow it.)
Access Grants	Project Mgmt: Update Tasks (Required)	If a user is specified as a resource on the project, the user can update tasks.
	Project Mgmt: Edit All Projects	If a user is assigned to tasks in the work plan, the user can use the My Tasks portlet to report progress on multiple tasks.
	Project Mgmt: Edit Projects	If the user is assigned to tasks in the work plan, the user can use the My Tasks portlet to record progress on multiple tasks.

To prevent users with Time Management licenses from logging time through Time Management, the project manager can change the Time Management integration setting on the project that determines who can log time. Alternatively, the project manager can turn off Time Management integration.

To prevent users from updating tasks, set the following.

Table 6-5. Settings to restrict a user from updating tasks
Setting	Value	Description
License	(REMOVE) Project Management	Remove this license from users to prevent them from accessing projects and tasks.
Access Grant	(REMOVE) Project Mgmt: Update Tasks	Remove this access grant from users to prevent them from updating tasks in the My Tasks portlet.
