Hello,

When I run my plugin, it seems like regardless of which port I log
into (8080 or 8443) I see the same data, even though the call to
getRepositories gives me two repositories that I can check if I am
logged in to. Does this sound like correct functionality? If so, is

This functionality is correct. The different ports are just two
different ways of connecting to the same repository (with different
security protocols). The type ITeamRepository returned by
getRepositories() may be somewhat confusingly named. Perhaps
ITeamRepositoryConnection would make more sense because it encapsulates
the URL (note: several different URLs may map to the same repository)
and the user login info (many different users can login to the same
repository).

Suppose you are holding two ITeamRepository instances (perhaps for two
different users) and want to know if they represent the same Jazz
repository database... it looks like ITeamRepository.getId() is meant to
support this case.

there any way to set it up so if you log in to a different port you
have a different repository area? Or, is there a good way to divide

The only way (I know) to do this would be your "backup plan" of running
several instances of the jazz server on different ports with different
database instances.

up the server repository data based on what teams or project areas
you have access to?

Right now my backup plan is to run a different instance of the jazz
server for each team but that seems like a poor solution.

Reading between the lines, I think what you are asking is to have each
team area get its own collection of Streams, WorkItems, Builds, etc.
such that each team has access only to its own artifacts (to prevent
cheating or plagiarism for the classroom setting).

All of these item types (Streams, Workitems, etc...) can currently be
scoped by team area, but I'm not sure if the access permissions story
currently covers them all. There seems to be a lot of work going on
around access permissions for M4 (available end of this week), so you
may want to grab M4, study the new-and-noteworthy and try to set it up
for your specifications (and then report back here on the experience
and/or file defects). Depending on your timeframe, the "run multiple
Jazz servers" approach may turn out to be the most practical.


I hope this helps,
