Place restrictions so that only certain user roles may add work items to the backlog
I need to be able to place restrictions, so that only certain user roles may add work items to a backlog. Other user roles will need to be able to plan Sprints, so they will need permissions to change the 'Planned For'. Is there a way that RTC can enforce this? |

Please see the permissions in the project administration, where you can specify which role can and can not change specific attributes. For more information about Work Item customization see:

Thanks Ralph. For this particular use case, we were looking at restricting the roles that could adjust the 'Planned For' attribute. This works, as it prevents users from creating a work item and planning it for the backlog, however then prevents other roles from being able to move the work item from the backlog into a Sprint, and then create the Tasks that are Planned For that Sprint.
In short, what I'm looking to be able to do is; 1) Any user can create a work item, however may not set the Planned For value 2) The 'Product Manager/Owner' adds to the backlog does the ranking etc. 3) The 'Scrum Master' moves the item to a Sprint, creating the Tasks for that sprint etc...
Apologies if its contained within the link within the answer above, however I could not locate that.

You can only permit/limit setting an attribute for a role. You can't selectively select what values a role could set. In your case, allow the scrum master role and the product owner role to set the value for the iteration and prevent everyone else from doing it.
