Is it possible to restrict modification of approved requirements in RDNG ?

Hi Christian,

I've done a few work items presentation designs for this type of thing:

- You could use one of the other editor presentation / Plan view Editor or the Search Editor. Each of these has their own presentation that as a default would be editable.

It will depend on how you want it to work.

I've done another example using a script and read only dependency.

- so you add an attribute that only Admin can edit Boolean "Admin Edit" - then make all the other attriibutes read only on that presentation based on the new Boolean attribute.  But it does require multiple saves to change from Edit mode to Read only.  But works well.

Depends on the Requirements for your solution.

You can use team areas to control create/modify/delete permissions.  When requirements reach an approved state you can move them to a folder hierarchy where most users are not able to modify them.

By the time you get to 6.0.x I expect it will provide workflow automation that does this.  You can follow this plan item:
101784: Workflow support for Process Automation of requirements

Hi Katrin,
I know these problems - make artifacts uneditable in a certain state. At least bring them to a different state to edit the content. We coulln't find a way until now.

But my question: how did you create the state attribute? Do you use some build in functionality or just an attribute with enumeration?

Hi,

Not sure is this helps...  To meet this requirement I edit the Attribute Presentation for attributes in States to be "Read Only" on the Presentation.  Therefore users can't edit them...

However you can if you did a multiple edit etc...  but most users don't know or understand the detailed level.

You can do this setup in the Eclipse - I mostly work with work items in the web interface.
