Hiding Work Item fields from certain user groups
Is there a way to make certain work item fields invisible to some users, but visible to others?
For example, the use case would be a work items that was created by a customer, with additional fields available for internal use but hidden from the customer view. Both groups would be able to see the open items in a query, however, but opening the details of the work item would reveal separate information to each group. Thanks in advance. |

Yes Geoff, your speculation goes is the right direction.
The problem is that editor presentations are global per project area, so it is not possible to have different presentations for different teams or roles. However, for Post-2.0 we are planning to add role support to attribute visibility. --andre weinand RTC Work Item Team On 2009-05-23 04:41:50 +0200, Geoffrey Clemm <geoffrey> said: The short answer is no, you cannot really hide specified fields from nkotterwrote: Is

The short answer is no, you cannot really hide specified fields from
specific groups. Work item 64253 gives you control on how things get displayed in editors, but does not allow you to control what is seen in query results. But if hiding things in the editor is of value to you, you'll have to decide how you want to specify the groups that are allowed to see the specified fields. One reasonable approach would be to say that only users that are in a specified role in the project can see the specified field. I speculate that you then could use the mechanism described in work item 64253 to display the given field only if the current user has that role (if someone from the work item team could confirm/deny that speculation, that would be good).

It was not clear to me if this provided the full flexibility you require. https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/64253 |
