Welcome To My First Post!!!!!!!
Recently one of the users informed that he is not able to publish the project plan as the project publish button within Project Professional was disable. Below were the repro steps.
- Close the project professional.
- Open the project professional and connect to Project Server.
- Open the plan from Project Server.
- Make changes to the plan and save it.
- Click on file menu
- The Publish option is grayed out.
As a workaround we would requesting another project manager to open the plan and publish it.
Finally we tried below steps and it seems to resolve the issue.
1. We closed the Project Professional.
2. Launched the project professional and connected to server using problematic user account
3. While launching the project professional we unchecked the “Load resource summary assignment” option.
4. Opened the project plan and saved it.
5. This time we found that the “Publish” button is not grayed out and was able to publish the plan
6. We closed the project professional and launched the project professional with “Load resource summary assignment” selected.
7. This time as well we were able to publish the plan.
8. Not sure if uncheking the “Load resource summary assignment” option did the trick here.
Other suggestions:
1. You may also try to delete the Project Professional profile for the user and create the new profile to check if that fix the issue.
2. Check if user is working in offline mode.
