Timesheet or time tracking functionalities in Project for the Web/Planner Premium
Hi, I've been looking for information about whether timesheet or time tracking capabilities will be made available in a not so distant future in PFTW of Planner Premium. I work at a company where we already have an instance of Project Online running in which timesheets are managed. We would like to have some sort of time tracking in PFTW/Planner premium as well since we're launching a project on that platform soon. Does anyone have a view on what's coming or any experience on how to do time tracking in PFTW/Planner Premium? Thanks! N.
Project Web App can't delete PDP despite custom scripting being enabled
Hi everyone, Currently trying to set up a Project Web App system and I've encountered this problem. When trying to delete/remove a project detail page from a project nothing happens. My organisation has custom scripting enabled and I can remove fields and other stuff from projects but when I try to remove a page it doesn't work. I've removed all fields from the page I'm trying to delete so I don't think its anything to do with a required field or existing workflow, and I get no error message when I try to delete the page. I simply click "Delete Page", stop editing and the page is still there with no change. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the issue?
How to Submit a Timesheet on Behalf of Another User in Project Online using API?
I develop a flow that once a week submit timesheets for all users. Is there a way to submit a timesheet on behalf of another user? I have tried the endpoint: _api/ProjectServer/TimeSheetPeriods('periodid')/TimeSheet However, it works only in the current user's context. When I run a Power Automate flow as an Admin, the flow can only see the Admin's timesheets. Could you please advise how I can submit a timesheet for another user?
Project Online (CSOM): Encountering 'User Not Found in Active Directory or Project DB'
Issue We are attempting to access Project Online data in Project Permission mode using app-only authentication, specifically to bypass MFA for programmatic access, as we aim for continuous, automated access without any user-interaction. We are using CSOM, using Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.ProjectContext in .NET 4.8 to connect to Project Online. Despite following several documented approaches with client certificates, client secrets, and OAuth configurations, we keep encountering errors like 401 Unauthorized and User not found in Active Directory or in project db. Below is a summary of our steps. Despite multiple attempts, we consistently receive errors blocking access. We have followed recommended documentation for client credentials, certificates, and permissions but still face access issues. Technology Project Online CSOM in .NET 4.8 Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.ProjectContext Azure AD (Entra ID) Solutions Attempted Client Certificate Authentication: Configuration: Registered an app in Azure AD (Entra) with a client certificate and set permissions including Sites.FullControl.All. NOTE: we could not select Project permissions (Project.Read, etc.) in the Application Permissions screen, only within the delegated permissions screen. Token Acquisition: We acquired an access token using az account get-access-token --resource=https://.sharepoint.com. Request Attempted: URL: https://.sharepoint.com/sites//_api/ProjectData/Projects Outcome: {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"App is not allowed to call SPO with user_impersonation scope"} Client Secret with Client Credentials: App Registration: Configured client ID and client secret in Azure AD with permissions for Project.ReadWrite.All and Sites.Selected. Token Acquisition: Called the token endpoint: Endpoint: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TENANT_ID}/oauth2/v2.0/token Parameters: client_id, scope= https://.sharepoint.com/.default, client_secret, grant_type=client_credentials Access Attempt: URL: https://.sharepoint.com/sites//_api/ProjectData/Projects Response: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Response Body: " " Outcome: Despite obtaining a valid token, the request returns a “Please sign in” page, rather than an access token. SharePoint AppPermissionRequest Configuration using /sites/pwa/layouts/15/appinv.aspx: Configuration: Set up AppPermissionRequest XML in SharePoint for permissions like: Outcome: This configuration did not make any differences, and did not grant the required permissions in Project Permission mode, as SharePoint app permissions do not seem to cover Project-specific access, it seems. Project Online access remains blocked. <AppPermissionRequest Scope="[http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection]" Right="FullControl"/> Microsoft Graph API Exploration: Goal: Investigated Graph API as an alternative. Outcome: Microsoft Graph lacks Project Online-specific permissions, limiting access to SharePoint and directory data, which does not meet our need for project-specific data access. Microsoft.Identity.Client and client certificate Configuration: CSOM using the following code to login: Outcome: Access fails with User:<customercontent></customercontent> not found in Active Directory or in project db public static void Login(this ProjectContext context) { var clientId = "xxx"; var clientSecret = "xxx"; var authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxx"; var scope = "https://xxx.sharepoint.com/.default"; var certificate = new X509Certificate2("c:\\temp\\cert.pfx", "xx"); var app = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId) .WithCertificate(certificate) .WithAuthority(new Uri(authority)) .Build(); AuthenticationResult result = TaskHelper.BlockingAwait(() => app.AcquireTokenForClient(new[] { scope }).ExecuteAsync()); string accessToken = result.AccessToken; context.ExecutingWebRequest += (sender, e) => { e.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + accessToken; }; } Key Questions: Is there a method for app-only authentication in Project Online in Project Permission mode__ that bypasses MFA for automated access? Has anyone succeeded in applying app-only credentials for Project Online access__, specifically in Project Permission mode? Are there any alternative permission configurations__ (like Azure AD settings, conditional access policies, or app permissions) that could facilitate this access? Thank you in advance! Edit: Sorry for the bad formatting.Modify indentation in Project Online via REST API's

New Project - Regex on Project Name - Limit Special Characters
Greetings, I haven't been able to find any reference to this anywhere online... When creating a new Project in PoL/PWA, is there a way to apply RegEx to the 'Name' (Project Name) field? Basically: I would like to limit it to Alpha-Numeric, Spaces and Dashes...and definitely prevent '&' and brackets '()[]'. Either make it required or prevent 'finish' button (Create project) from functioning until it is valid. What might be a strategy to go about this validation? (Note: I am somewhat surprised this has never been discussed before...especially considering that PWA creates a sub-site & use the 'Name' field as the URL. Frankly, it is surprising that PWA even allows '&'.) Much appreciated, -TR
