I just installed MS Project Server 2007 for the first time on a Windows 2008 server, and I followed the technet deployment doc to do this and the installation went fine. I did a basic install as we're just testing it right now so SQL 2005 Express which gets included in the basic install is sufficient. Once installed and I run the configuration wizard, my Project Web Access (PWA) site is provisioned and I can access it fine with the user account I used to install. The URL is the default of http://server_name/pwa. However, no other users in the domain can get to this site, they all get access denied. I go into Site settings and add a user and it doesn't matter if I give them Full control rights or Read rights, they get access denied. Is anybody familiar with Project Server that can help me out? I really appreciate it, thanks!

When I am on the home page of the PWA site via internet explorer as the user I installed Project Server with, I click on Site Settings (Just like you do with a Sharepoint site) and give the user rights to the site, but it seems I need to give rights some place else? I am new to IIS 7 so not sure if I need to do anything there.

What's strange is if I take away the PWA part of the URL and just browse to http://server_name I get to a different home page which is pretty much another sharepoint site and that page if I go to Site Settings and give a user rights I can control their access to that site, it just doesn't seem to work the same for the default PWA site.

is blocking all but the administrator.

navigate start/programs/administrative tools/IIS. Expand your server in the left pane. expand web sites. in the right pane find your sharepoint site by name, not the sharepoin centratl admin or Microsoft sharepoint admin. highlight/righ click and choose properties. Click on directory security tab. under authentication and access control, see intergrated windows authentication box is checked. this is for Active Directory.

you can allow anonymous access using the IUSR_server account which will allow everyone and the pet dog see the site. As long as this is strickly internal, shouldn't be a problem.
