  The Plan On The Net .com User Guide  
   
Users, Groups And Access Permissions
  Anytime after the program office has been registered, the administrator can add users.  
Viewing List Of Existing Users
  The user administration screen shows the complete list of existing users and is available at program office users. When you first register with the system, only the administrator will be listed.  
Add A New User
  To add a new user select the program office users add user link. Enter all of the information for the new user and then select add. The new user should now be added to the list of existing users. To add another user select add user again.  
Delete A User
  From the user administration page, locate the user that you wish to delete by selecting a letter from the letter menu. Users will be listed based upon their last name. Select the delete user link for the user, and the user will be deleted (the system will ask for a confirmation).  
Changing User Profile (Administrator)
  Locate the user and select the modify link.  
Changing User Profile (User)
  Users can change their own profiles by selecting program office change profile.

Changing a user profile allows the name, login and/or the password of a user to be changed.  

Viewing Access Permissions
  When the modify link is selected for a particular user, the system will list all of the access permissions (by project) that a user currently has.  
Adding User Access Permissions
  Only the project owner can allow other users to access a project. Unless you add permissions to a new user, the user will not be able to view or modify project plans.

Select program office pick a project user access or program office pick a project group access. The system will provide an access matrix for each user or group.

To change access, select the change access link. From there simply check (or uncheck) access permissions and select submit.  

View
  This allows a user to view a project plan, but not make any modifications.  
Update Tasks And Resources
  This allows a user to add, modify and delete resources and tasks for a specific project. This access automatically gives the user access to cost (financial) information for the selected project.  
Version Control
  This allows a user to take a version snapshot of a project plan and thereby increasing the version count of the project plan. The previous versions will still be readily accessible.  
View Costs
  This access allows a user to view cost information for a particular project.  
Add Issues
  This access allows a user to add new issues and followups for the selected project. Without this access, the user can still view the project issues list for any project.  
Creating Groups
  Groups provide a method for grouping users so that access permissions can be handled in a more convenient manner. Users can have membership in more than one group at a time.

Groups can be global or private. Global groups are created by the administrator and can be seen by all users within a program office. Private groups are created by individial users and can only be seen by the original creator of the group.  

Creating A New Group
  To create a new group, select the program office groups add group link.  
Deleting A Group
  To delete a group, select the program office groups delete link. The system will not let a group be deleted if it has members.  
Listing Group Members
  Select the program office groups list link for a particular group.  
Adding And Removing Users From A Group
  Select the program office groups add/remove link for a particular group. The system will display a user pick screen from where you can add or remove users.
