Note that there are two kinds of admins in RTC ... a "repository admin"
(indicated by the user being a member of the JazzAdmins repository
group, and a "process area admin" indicated by the user appearing in the
Administrators list of the process area (or of a parent of that process
area, since process area administrator is an inherited role).

I believe the primary difference is that a repository admin has admin
privileges to configure the repository itself and has admin privileges
for all process areas, while a process area admin only has admin
privileges for that process area (and its child process areas).
If that is not right, hopefully someone who actually knows the answer to
this will post a correction (:-).

The capabilities of an admin was significantly extended in RTC-1.0.1.
In particular (from the RTC-1.0.1 New+Noteworthy):

"All users in the JazzAdmins group, and all project and team
administrators, will now have the power to change a project or team
area. This now includes changing the area's name and summary, iteration
structure, and administrator assignments, as well as archiving."

Note that creating a new work item category is not one of those powers,
which is why as admin you cannot perform this operation.

What you *can* do as an admin, is give yourself the appropriate role in
that project area, and you will then be able to save the new work item
category.

Cheers,

Hi

I am using RTC 1.0.1.1. I am logged in to RTC Eclipse client using
the Jazz admin id. In the Team Organization view of a project I
created a new work item category. When hitting save button I get
error:

Permission denied.

Problem
You don't have permission to Save Category .

Why does Administrator not have permission to modify a work item
category ? I am sorry if this is a silly question ! Can someone
please help me with this ?

Thanks
