(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hello!
I'm using P6 to manage a non-resource loaded schedule and am attempting to add resources, but on the Resources tab, the option to create a resource is greyed out.
I have full permissions and am listed as an Administrator. The Security Profile Add/Edit/Delete priveleges are checked as well. The Display: All Resources shows no resources.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,
I also had this same issue but managed to fix it now.
Needed to get our company administrator/superuser to go into - Users - Global Access - and tick the box that says "Specify the resources that the user will be able to access - All resource access" for your primavera account.
Once done the add resource button was no longer greyed out and i was able to create resources
Hi ,
I had this issue as our primavera is set up across the company. Fixed it now with a bit of perseverance :)
I had to get our admin/superuser to go into Admin – Security profiles - Tick all privellages (which i think was mentioned earlier on this post) but after that i also had to go into Admin – Users - Global Access - Tick all resource access and now that has worked, my add resource button is no longer greyed out and i also have visibility of all our enterprise resources.
its easy to miss the small box that needs ticked!

all of the boxes should be checked under the security profile for Has Privilege
In my Users dialog box, no one is listed as an Admin Superuser. I have a few IT people and some coworkers, but they are all the same security profiles as me or lower...
you should be admin superuser
and all of the boxes should be checked under the security profile for Has Privilege
Still having issues creating resources.
I am listed as an Administrator in P6 and have the priviledges to Add/Edit/Delet Users. Does this mean only inside of a project? Is there a level above Administrator that you guys are in that allow for creating resources?
It's greyed out and not active; nothing happens. Is this normal? Is there a master setting I haven't unlocked?
Thanks!
Hi Stephen
Just one more try.
As I can see you have access to the resources tab under Enterprise
What happens when you click the + button on the right-hand site of the screen or right-click and use insert.

Hi Johannes,
That's where I am having my challenge. Inside the enterprise resouces display, I am unable to create a resource. It might be just something I am missing.
Thanks!
Hi Stephen
Before you can add resources from the activity windows tab on the bottom of the screen, you have to make first a resource under the enterprise resource tab.
After that, you add the resource to the activity in the activity window resource tab.
If still grayed out, right click and select filter "all resources or project resources.
Regards Johannes
The project is opened. Everything seems normal, but the function is not active.

try opening a project first
The Add function is greyed out. Pressing Insert doesn't add the resource.

Hi, sorry for the delay (just turned on email notifications).
I am listed as an administrator with the same security profile on Primavera P6 R15.1
Under the security profiles, all administrator privileges are checked, including Add Resource.
Thanks!

What version are you using ? Do you have global right or just project rights ?
