SYMPTOMS
If you click Documents or Issues in Microsoft Project Web Access, an Enter Network Password dialog box may be displayed in your browser window and you may be prompted to type your user name and password.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if your user account is not granted access to the SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft subweb for the project. As a result, you are prompted to type your network credentials when you try to access documents and issues.

Microsoft Project Web Access documents and issues are stored on a server running SharePoint Team Services, and Microsoft Project Server user accounts are not automatically granted access to SharePoint Team Services subwebs.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, add the user to the SharePoint Team Services subweb. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) Log on as Administrator to Microsoft Project Web Access.
 * 2) Click Admin, and then click Manage SharePoint Team Services.
 * 3) Under Options in the left pane, click Manage subwebs.
 * 4) Under Manage project subwebs, click the subweb address for the subweb to which you want to add users.
 * 5) Click Site Settings.
 * 6) Under Web Administration, click Manage users.
 * 7) Click Add a user.
 * 8) Under User, click Add user or group name (For example, DOMAIN\name), and then type the group or domain name and user name for the Microsoft Windows user account that you want to add.
 * 9) Under User Role, click to select the check boxes next to the roles that you want to assign to the user.
 * 10) Click Add User.



MORE INFORMATION
To use the documents library and issues tracking features of Microsoft Project Server, you must install SharePoint Team Services and configure it for use with Microsoft Project Server. For more information about how to install and configure Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint Team Services, see the Microsoft Project Server Installation Guide (Pjsvr10.chm). This file is located in the Docs folder of the Microsoft Project Server CD or in the :\Program Files\Microsoft Project Server\Help\1033 folder on the hard disk, where   is the drive on which Windows is installed.
