Declining Resource Requests in Team Manager

If you are unable to meet the resource request a project manager has sent to you, use Team Manager to decline the request. This lets the project manager know that you do not have the resources to satisfied the allocation request, and gives the project manager an opportunity to request the resources from another resource manager.

Note: You can decline a resource request, even if you do not manage any resources (even if no users have you assigned as their Resource Manager). You can only approve a resource request if you manage resources.

To decline a resource request:

In Team Manager, for the resource type you want to decline resources, click the Actions icon next to the resource type and select Decline Request.

The Decline Resource Request window opens.
Type a Message to the project manager.
Note: If there is no manager assigned for the workspace, no notification is sent.
Click Send to decline the request and send the message.

The request is removed from the Pending Resource Requests list in Team Manager and the manager of the workspace is notified of your action.
