Resources in your organization may have different roles that represent the work that they do. Configuring these roles in Microsoft Project Web App is a two-step process. First, you have to create a list of all of the roles in your organization, and then you have to assign that list to a custom field.
Create a list of resource roles
On the Quick Launch, under Settings, click Server Settings.
In the Enterprise Data section, click Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables.
On the Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables page, scroll down to the Lookup Tables for Custom Fields section, and then click New Lookup Table.
Type Role in the Name field.
In the Lookup Table section, type the name of each role in your organization in the Value column.
Click Save.
Assign the list of roles to a custom field
On the Quick Launch, under Settings, click Server Settings.
In the Enterprise Data section, click Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables.
