The P6 Responsible Manager assigned to a project is selected from the list created in the OBS table and decides who has access to a project and what level of access they have.
P6 Version 21 and earlier kept the same Responsible Manager when coping and pasting a project.
P6 Version 22 introduced a new Responsible Manager option in the User Preferences, Assistance tab for the assignment of the Responsible Manager to a copied project, allowing each user to two options for the OBS, either:
- Keep the old assignment, as per earlier versions, or
- Adopt the new parent assignment.
Often neither the parent assignment or keeping the original assignment are a logical option and the option to select a new code when pasting a project is not available.
