Before you begin

Note

Because SharePoint Server runs as websites in Internet Information Services (IIS), administrators and users depend on the accessibility features that browsers provide. SharePoint Server supports the accessibility features of supported browsers. For more information, see the following resources:> Plan browser support> Accessibility for SharePoint Products> Accessibility features in SharePoint 2013 Products> Keyboard shortcuts> Touch

Before you begin this operation, review the following information about prerequisites:

• Read Manage security templates in Project Server.

• You must have access to Project Web App.

  Important

  The Manage users and groups global permission in Project Web App is required to complete this procedure.
