SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

I am a Project Server and SharePoint consultant but my main focus currently is around Project Server. I have been working with Project Server for nearly five years since 2007 for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the UK, I have also been awared with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011. I am also a certified Prince2 Practitioner. This article has been cross posted from pwmather.wordpress.com (original article)

A quick post just to highlight a difference between Project Server 2013 on-premise and Project Online regarding being able to deselect “User can be assigned as a resource” from the Edit User page.

For Project Online this option is disabled as you can see below:

For Project Server 2013 (on-premise) this option is enabled:

For Project Server 2013 on premise where you can deselect this check box it is recommended that you don’t use this option as un-checking it can potentially cause issues in some scenarios hence this option being disabled in Project Online. I imagine that there will be a change for Project Server 2013 on-prem soon that will bring this inline with Project Online.
