so i added a couple of users to the project server that use windows auth.
and added them to the project servers user list, but they can log in to the
PWA using thosse accounts!!!
and if the PWA still uses project server auth. and the user wants to access
the shared documents and he has a windows user account, can he access the
docs if his windows account is not an administrative??
