Hi,
I need to find a way to detect whether a work item has a certain value for a given attribute. And I would need to know whether such a work item is existing even if I cannot access it (resolve its handle) because of permissions.
I also do not need to access it I only need to know whether it exists or not.

Is there any API available to realize this?

Thank you

You could use the permission ware API that allows you to at least know how many items you don't have access to. See: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/ "Permissions and Read Access". You will not be able to get any more information out than that, as far as I know.

The permission aware API is only available for the fetching items given a handle.


But does the RTC work item query at all return a work item handle for a work item that the current user has no access to (if using the official ui)?
