There are a lot of differences between permissions under Project Configuration and permissions under Team Configuration.


Why?
Is there any good document to explain why there are such differences?
I'm using RTC 4.0.2.

Koji,
The difference is because of the levels
Project Configuration - applies to project level
Team Configuration - to the team level

Different things can be done at different levels, hence the different permissions.

Hi Sandy,

I've got a related question on this with regards to permissions of work item attachment.
Please give me some advice.

-Under Project Configuration:
Delete attachment
Modify attachment

-Under Team Configuration
Add an attachment
Delete attachment
Modify an attachment
Remove an attachment

Question:
Why only "Delete attachment" and "Modify attachment" exist under "Project Configuration"?
Why "Add an attachment" and "Remove an attachment" don't exist under "Project Configuration"?

I want to know the good example(use case) to utilize those permissions regarding work item attachment.


thanks

In 4.0.3, there are no attachment permissions in the team configuration list ... only in the project configuration list.

The following blog entry should address the why there is a difference.  it gives a bit more detail on the structure of the project area and team area

The following article provides some concrete examples on setting up permissions at team scope

This distinction has been removed in 4.0.3.  Please see Modifying permissions.

I would say that in 4.0.3 "the distinction is no longer as obvious".    In particular, the distinction is still made in the Eclipse UI.   Also in the Web UI, the project-level permissions and team-level permissions are combined in a single list for the project area, but if you look at the permissions of a team area, you will only see the team-level permissions and not the project-level permissions.
