| Problem: | Is it possible to prevent users that import xer, mpp or mpx files from updating global information? |
| Problem: | Giving users the global privilege, import global information, allows them to add global data through import even though they do not have privileges to add global data within Project Management (ie resources, global activity codes, calendars etc.). |
| Cause: | The global privilege, import global information, overrides all other global privileges. |
| Fix: | This issue is an existing Enhancement Request. It will be considered for a future release |
| Fix: | WORKAROUND: In version 6.0 and later, you can export/import XML files, instead of XER files. Importing an XML file will obey all security privileges, allowing a user to only add/update the Global data that they have rights to. See Solution ID: prim61188 What are the differences between XML and XER import/export in P6? for more details. |
