Secure Project Files
Note: You will need to have at least LiveProject Premium Viewer to use
this feature. To use the shared server options, you will need at least
LiveProject Team Viewer. Compare versions.
LiveProject allows the creation and viewing of 'Secure Project Files'. Secure
project files are encrypted and access to them is protected by a password.
Additionally, the manager can configure which Project fields should be visible
and which ones should be hidden. For example, the manager can choose to hide all
cost columns.
Passwords
Secure Project files are protected by two passwords:
- The administrator password grants the user total control over the
distributed file.
- The secondary 'view' password grants the user rights to view the file.
This is typically the password you would share with others.
Columns
Select the task and resource columns to hide. These columns will
not be shown to users with the secondary password, but will be
visible to users with the administrator password. All other columns will be
visible to everyone.
If you plan to use this functionality a lot, you can store the selected
columns by entering a name in the dropdown textbox and pressing Save.
Later, you can quickly select the same columns by selecting your named list.
Removing Security
You can restore your original project file to the LiveProject Server by once
again selecting Secure Project from the right-click context menu in the
project viewer or the Explore Server tab.
Making changes to the original project plan
Changes made through LiveProject, or locally on the original MS Project plan
are automatically detected by LiveProject. You will be prompted to publish
another version of the secure file, and LiveProject will re-encrypt the original
file and publish if you accept.
