Issue/Introduction

Whist reviewing all users Licenses, noticing that one of the Project Managers has 'Project –Manager (Auto)' Full Licenses right even though they are no longer a Project Manager for any Projects.

Is it possible to remove 'Project - Manager (Auto)' Access Right that appears on the License Information Portlet Page?
 

Environment

Any Supported Clarity Releases

Resolution

• The 'Project – Manager (Auto)' Access Right will appear under that specific resource while he is set as PM on any existing project on the system, regardless of being active or inactive.
• The licensing functionality is working as design.
• A resource which at some point was appointed manager will get the ‘Project - Manager (Auto)’ Access right.
• The Manager Auto license will always be attached to the resource even if the project has been deactivated.
• If you do not require a resource assigning the manager auto right, because it is no longer a Project Manager on an active project and only inactive ones, you might want to assign a dummy project manager to inactive projects therefore, the license is released from the resource that was the Project Manager while the project was active.
• For historical data purposes you could create a custom field that can be populated with the original Project Manager once the project is deactivated.
