INTRODUCTION

Issue that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issue that was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

You have denied the "Create new Activity or Proposal" global permission for the Administrator's group. Then, you add a resource to a project team in the Project Center. When you try to save the change, you receive the following error message:
You do not have sufficient permissions to view the specified page. Please contact your administrator for permissions to view this page.
When you drill into a project plan and try to display the Project Summary information from the Project Center, the information may take a long time to be displayed.
You cannot link an issue to a task if you have more than 100 tasks.
You cannot change the owner of a project plan in Microsoft Office Project Web Access (PWA).
You cannot add a work estimate when you are creating a new task in PWA.
Task IDs are unavailable when you are creating a new task in PWA.
Task IDs are unavailable on the My Task view in PWA.
You receive the "An unexpected error has occurred" error message when you try to access the PWA homepage.
In the My Tasks page, items are grouped by project. By default, the maximum number of items to display on a page is 30. When the maximum number of items is reached, paging occurs. You have to switch between the pages to view all the tasks. If a project grouping is collapsed, the page does not refresh to bring tasks from other pages back. Therefore, the page does not display 30 items to the user. This causes tasks that straddle the paging to become orphaned from the project.
When a project manager receives a task update, there is no way for the project manager to know what has changed within the specific update. Also, the view in Approvals/Task Updates shows only the current period.
Using the local calendar may cause a variance between PWA and Project Professional.
