Group Not Displaying for Resource Plan

[Andrew Bishop1]

How do you add pps_resource role to a group? Would you add that role to the “X GROUP NAME” group so that it will show under default group name search?

Hi @Andrew Bishop ,

pps_resource is what allows the group to be selected in a resource plan, and (as is the case with all roles assigned to the group), every user in the group will inherit it.

resource_user is granted with Project_Manager, so no need to grant that independently.

The PPS Resource [pps_resource] role is introduced to differentiate PPS users from all other users in the system. Only users with the PPS Resource role are considered for resource planning, and only users or groups with the PPS Resource role appear in resource plans. By default, the PPS Resource role is added to the Project User [project_user] and Demand User [demand_user] roles.

Assignment group and resource groups are one and the same. Both refers to record in sys_user_group table. In order for an assignment group to be qualified as resource group (meaning - for the group to be available to chosen in resource plan form) it should have the role pps_resource associated with it.

resource_manager is the closest I'd get to tricky.  Obviously you don't want everyone in a resource group to be a resource manager.  So I generally take all my resource managers and put them in a seperate group called  "Resource Managers", expressly to assign them the resource manager role.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,
