Imagine you work for a large company that uses Microsoft Project Server. Since you have many employees, having MSP sync individual permissions for every user to every site is simply not scalable. Instead, you’d like to use some Active Directory groups that are already set up to manage permissions in the workspace.

  1. Navigate to PWA
  2. Click Server Settings
  3. Click Project Workspace Provisioning Settings
  4. Validate that the “Workspace Permissions” checkbox is unchecked
