RRC Team Level permissions do not prevent moving artifacts from restricted folders to my team folder

Can you tell me if this is a defect or if the team permissions in RRC are working as designed:

  • I have two teams set up in RRC: Team A and Team B.
  • I have user A only assigned to Team A and user B only assigned to Team B. Neither is set up with access at the project level.
  • I have folder A ownership set to Team A and folder B ownership set to Team B.
  • As expected, user A can only save and edit artifacts in folder A, and user B can only save and edit artifacts in folder B.
  • However, user A can move any artifact from any folder (including folder B and other folders where user A cannot save or edit artifacts) to folder A.
  • Likewise, user B can move any artifact from any folder (including folder A and other folders where user B cannot save or edit artifacts) to folder B.
So, is this a defect? If you're trying to limit who can edit certain artifacts, I don't think you would want users to be able to move the artifacts they shouldn't have rights to edit.

Hi Dolores,
I would say that it is working as designed, but perhaps the design could be better.  We did debate having a separate "move" permission but didn't go down that route in the end.
I think I'm right in saying that even though user A can move things from folder B, that user still cannot modify them after moving them.

I think it would be reasonable to raise a defect on this (although it might be converted to an enhancement request).

thanks,

Dominic

Thanks! I also noticed that if a user with rights moves the artifact to the team-owned folder, a member of the team with rights to save/edit in the team-owned folder still can't edit it. I'll have my POC with IBM submit as an enhancement request.
