Q/A

Microsoft Project Web Access (PWA) is a web site provided to your organization to access and update information stored in the Project Server database. The Project Server database holds information from Microsoft Project Professional plans – including plans, tasks, deliverables, resource data, status, cost information, documents, risks and issues. Access to specific information is controlled by user level permissions.
