Different users see different percentage of resource allocation in the plan view

Troubleshooting


Problem

In IBM Engineering Workflow Management's Formal Project Management process project area, different users can see different percentage of resource allocation in the plan view.

Symptom

You can set up an example to demonstrate the symptom.

UserOf2Projects(userof2/userof2) is a member of 2 project areas (CSM-FORMAL1-702, CSM-FORMAL1-TAP702-1). There is no change to the default allocations, so the resource is 50% allocated to each project.

UserOf1Project(UserOf1/UserOf1 is a member of 1 project area (CSM-FORMAL1-702). There is no change to the default allocations, so the resource is 100% allocated to the project.

The default Access Control for formal project areas is "Grant read access to Members of the project area hierarchy". This means that UserOf1Project does not know about the existence of CSM-FORMAL1-TAP702-1, which means that they think that userof2 is only allocated to a single project. And since the allocation has not been manually set, UserOf1 thinks that userof2's allocation is 100%. As is seen here:

Note: the 'Yellow Triangle Warning Symbol' next to Allocation indicates the allocation is system-calculated, and can change.
