Sam works as the Project Administrator for company.com Inc. He has created a security template for the project team leaders group. The project manager asks Sam to change some values within the security template for the project team leaders group. Sam agrees and makes the changes. The project manager reports that the members of the project team leaders groups are not able to use the new permissions added by Sam to the template. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the problem?
A.
Sam needs to remove the project team leaders from the group and then add them back to the group.
B.
Sam needs to force a check-in of the project to enforce the template.
C.
Sam needs to restart the Microsoft Project Web Access services.
D.
Sam needs to reapply the template to the project team leaders group.
Explanation:
When Sam edits an existing template, the changes are not automatically applied to the groups using the template. Sam needs to simply reapply the template to the project team leaders group. Answer option B is incorrect. Check-in or check-out of a project would not affect the security template used in the project.
Answer option A is incorrect. There is no reason to add and remove people from a security group to force the changes to the security template. Furthermore, this action would not enforce the changes, as Sam has not re-applied the template to the group.
Answer option C is incorrect. There is no reason to restart any services to enforce a template change.
