If you're not able to assign OBS or project access...

Check your global security profile. It may be set to something other than what it needs to be to change these elements. Typically if you're assigning users to an OBS, you should be an Admin Superuser.

An Admin Superuser is a global security profile that gives a user read/write privileges for application-wide information and features. The Admin Superuser always has access to all resources. If resource security is enabled, resource access settings are not applicable. To make global information read-only for a user, choose No Global Privileges. The No Global Privileges profile provides read-only access to all global data except costs and secure codes.

Note: Only Admin Superusers can create, edit, and delete other Admin Superusers. You must have at least one Admin Superuser to create other Admin Superusers.

From a consulting colleague….Admin Superuser is a built in global profile. “Administrator” would be a profile created by a user that may have similar rights.

P6 One Hour Idle Timeout

Our product has a 1hr idle timeout.

If you are connected in P6 Professional and your machine goes into hibernation for > 1hr, the next operation you attempt will result in the “Internal error Invalid Session” error.

Based on your note below, this is likely due to exceeding the 1hr inactivity period (machine moving into hibernation for greater than one hour while you have a connected session).

If the layout you were using did not carry over to the new session, it was likely not updated in your USERDATA row which gets set upon successful logout of P6 Pro (which did not happen in the case below due to abnormal termination from inactivity).
