In this article, I will be fixing the issue of Missing 'Manage Delegates' option in PWA Setting.



Scenario

In PWA Settings, below the Personal Settings, we can't find Manage Delegates option.



Cause

This issue usually occurs because

  1. The current PWA Instance Permission Mode is SharePoint Permission Mode, and the Manage Delegates option is only available in the Project Permission Mode. Read more at Project Server 2016: SharePoint Permission Mode Vs Project Permission Mode.
  2. The current user doesn't have sufficient permission to Manage Delegates.
Solution

Cause (1)

To show the Manage Delegates option in PWA settings, you should activate the Project Permission Mode via PowerShell by running Set-SPProjectPermissionMode cmdlet.

Note

Before you decide to switch from one Permission Mode to another, you should be aware of all the current activated Permission Mode configurations because the settings are deleted permanently and can't be restored.

Steps

    1. Set-SPPRojectPermissionMode -Url 'PWA URL' -Mode ProjectServer


Cause (2)

If the Project Permission Mode is already activated and the "Manage Delegates" option is not available, it means it's a Permission Issue!



Steps

Note

It's not recommended to manage the user permission from the User Settings directly, it should be managed from Groups!
