Using SDK requires superuser privilages ?

In order to edit or add / write data into P6, is superuser privilages is required? If that is through then not so many people can use it. There are no much advantage in being able to read the information. SDK would be useful if it could be used to update information such as activity codes values (dictionaries), which can not be done through import from excel.

Hi

Sorry, yes that is correct to write information back to P6 you would require Admin Superuser status.

SDK is extremely useful .... as long as you are your companies P6 admin or they allow you access to a superuser account!

Andy,

'View All Global\Project Data via SDK' is anabled, and I can use SDK for viewing the information, but I cannot make any changes.

I was told by our company P6 admin that only users with supreuser privilages can make changes using SDK, the rest can only view / read information using SDK.

 

If that is true, then SDK is not much usful for planners.

Hi

To use the SDK you either need to be an admin/superuser or your security profile needs the 'View All Global\Project Data via SDK' global option enabling.
