Reactivate a user account in Project Server

  • Article

Summary: Reactivate deactivated user accounts by using the Manage Users page in Project Web App Settings.
Applies to: Project Server Subscription Edition, Project Server 2019, Project Server 2016, Project Server 2013

After you deactivate a user account, you may need to reactivate it at some later time. Because the user information still exists in the Project Server database, you simply need to change the account status from Inactive to Active.

Before you begin

Note

Because SharePoint Server runs as websites in Internet Information Services (IIS), administrators and users depend on the accessibility features that browsers provide. SharePoint Server supports the accessibility features of supported browsers. For more information, see the following resources:> Plan browser support> Accessibility for SharePoint Products> Accessibility features in SharePoint 2013 Products> Keyboard shortcuts> Touch

Before you begin this operation, review the following information about prerequisites:

  • Read Manage users in Project Server.

  • You must have access to Project Web App.

    Important

    The Manage users and groups global permission in Project Web App is required to complete this procedure.
