Where are all the different permissions for work items?
Here's my problem: I just recently changed our automated build system to use a generic ID rather than my personal ID. The ID is in the project area and the same team area and has the same roles as my ID, but it cannot see any work items! It's funny because how this came about is the process was failing when trying to deliver a changeset because the process rule was not being met that required a related work item. Yet, through the UI I could see that the changeset DID have a related work item. Turns out, whenever I use MY ID, no problems. Whenever I use the generic ID with (ostensibly) all the same roles as me, it can't "see" the work items. In fact, I logged onto the web client using the ID and sure enough, even running a basic work item query comes up empty. There are no errors, it just doesn't pull up any results, at all.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what else this could be??

the user needs to belong to at least one group, remember the groups JazzUser, JazzGuest etc are all about access to the database. The license, roles and permissions gate intraction. A JazzGuest will have view options and the JazzAdmin and/or JazzProjectAdmin allows you to give a role the ability to delete a work item. If you are not in one ot these groups you can't delete even if you set the permission in the role.
