Title: Why no link Project Aurthor(s) and Security?
Post by: DPMiddleton on April 19, 2013, 12:30:54 am

Maybe this is a newby question about EA 10 Corp.:

Today, I tried to set up Project Security for the first time. All went well, but I found the function Project > Security > Manage Users utterly confusing and cumbersome.

First, I set all my EA Project Authors through: Settings > Project Types > People.

To my knowledge, a Project Author is a resource who works on an EA project (file). All the other resources work outside of EA and may not need any connection to e.g. AD.

So if I want to enable Project Security, isn't it logical to conclude that I want to give access to my Project Author(s)?

In other words, why can't I select from a list of Project Author(s) in the Project > Security > Manage Users menu and assign them a password and username?

We got used to such things and simply call it EAUI: EA Unique Interface. However, go ahead and ask for an improvement. Good luck.

That is what I suspected: an improvement request. :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
