Create a New Resource:

1.    In Project Web App, select Resources or Resource Center link from the Quick Launch menu. The system opens the Resource Center page.

2.    On the page you can select any resources for editing, or you can select none. Notice the hidden selector menu that appears over the checkbox column in the grid when you float your mouse pointer over the column header. This is a characteristic of the grid object and applies to many pages in the system. Use this to clear all selections.

3.    Select one resource. Click on the Open button in the Editing section on the Resources ribbon. The system opens the Enterprise Resource Pool for editing. Notice that Project 2016 displays "Checked-out Enterprise Resources — Microsoft Project" at the top of the screen.

4.    In the first blank line in the Resource Sheet view of the enterprise resource pool, add a new Work resource using the resource information shown in the table.

6.    Enter a friendly name like (PS-EPM) for your new account in the Account Name field and enter a valid URL in the Project Server URL field. You must enter the URL with the https://spsolutions.sharepoint.com/sites/test. Select the Set as default account option.

·         If you enter a URL using the http:// protocol rather than the secure https:// protocol, the system displays a warning dialog. Ignore the warning by clicking the Yes button unless your server requires a secure URL.

9.    In the Project Server Accounts dialog, select the Choose an account option.

10. After you create your Project Server login account profiles in Project Professional 2016, exit and then re-launch the software. This is a necessary step because creating your login accounts does not connect you to a Project Server instance.

If you wish to connect using a different login account, dick the Profile pick list and select a different account. Note that the first time you connect to a Project Server instance, the Work Offline option is not available.

Click the OK button to connect to your desired Project Server instance. If the system cannot connect to the selected Project Server instance, it displays the Could not connect to Server dialog.
