Contributor and floating developer license
Hi, if a user has been assigned both a contributor and a floating
developer license when will the floating license be requested? Will it be when the user logs in, making the assignment of the contributor license redundant; or will it be when the user tries to do something that requires a developer license? Many thanks, Jeremy |

Dan, thanks. This is what I expected. However, I've just taken a look at
the 'Issued Floating License Leases' page for floating developer licenses and see that most of the users have gained a floating license in order to execute the operation called: com.ibm.team.dashboard.viewPersonalDashboard The list includes me. I understand from the docs that I need a dev license to create a personal dashboard, but I'm curious as to why I need a developer license to view a personal dashboard. I don't recall changing it ever. I can remove my floating license, so I only have a contributor license and can still view my personal dashboard. In addition, even without a floating dev license, I can create a personalized dashboard from the web UI. So I think I have two questions now: Why do I need a developer license to view a personal dashboard? Why do I not need a developer license to create a personal dashboard? - this is contrary to the the infocenter: https://jazz.net/jazzdocs/topic/com.ibm.team.concert.doc/topics/c_rtc-editions.html Thanks, Jeremy On 06/01/2009 15:28, dkogan wrote: The floating license will be requested when the user tries to do |
There is a known issue where the viewPersonalDashboard will incorrectly
cause licenses to be checked out. As to the ability to create a personal dashboard without a developer license, that is a good question for the Dashboard team, perhaps it is a bug, or a modified behavior that didn't get reflected in the doc. - Matt Lavin Jazz Server Team On Tue, 2009-01-06 at 19:46 +0000, Jeremy Hughes wrote: Dan, thanks.

This was an unintended side effect of the way we're differentiating between the Express and Standard versions - based on which operations are allowed.
We are working to resolve this problem, see: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/62596 |
