Why can't the estimated time be changed

[russellbcopeland]

A project that is in project server. The user is setup as an administrator, he has access to all of the admin functions and is owner of the project. For some reason he can't change the estimated time on tasks. What controls access to that field?

ok.. we figured it out. Aparently we were just being trapped in our atempt to change the value. We were attempting to change an upper level value (computed from lower level tasks). OF course that cannot be changed. You have to change the lower level task estimates and the upper level estimate computes itself.

Amazing how you can have 3 generally intelligent people look at something and all just plain miss the fact that we are attempting to so something that cannot be done. Too focused on it HAVING to be a rights issue and not enough focus on what we were actually attempting to do.
