You can log on toProject Server 2010 from two places:

  • Project Professional 2010      If you connect in this manner, you can manage enterprise projects within Project Professional 2010.

  • Project Web App on a Web browser     If you connect in this manner, you can manage portfolios, projects, and tasks from the Web without using Project Professional 2010.

Note: Both of these connection methods require that you have set up Project Server 2010 in your organization.

What do you want to do?

Log on to Project Server from Project Professional

You must use either a Project Server 2007 or Project Server 2010 account to log on to Project Server 2010. Once you have a working account, you need to start Project Professional 2010 and enter your user name and password in the Login dialog box.

Note:  If you receive a "Project Server Unavailable" message when you try to connect to Project Server, verify with your server administrator that you are in a Project Server group that has permission to log on from Project. By default, the Project Manager group has this permission, but the Team Member group does not.
