What's the purpose of RQM's "XML Export" permission?

 In discussing this with a colleague it was suggested maybe the "XML Export" would be used under the covers to allow the PDF export of test artifacts, CSV exports and/or Run Offline capabilities.

I was able to accomplish all 3 with this permission disabled from my role, which begs the question. What operation in RQM relies on this permission?

Hi, Taly

XML Export(XML Import) is required when Export/Import XML data by using the REST API. Here is what
they are explained:

https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.platform.doc%2Ftopics%2Fc_qm_permissions_reference.html

When using those utility such as RQMExcelImporter, RQMCopyUtility and so on, which use REST API GET/PUT requests, requires specific project permissions including XML Exporter: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Permissions

Hopefully this clarifies.
Thanks

  Thank you. I hadn't thought of the utilities. I was wondering which GUI (ie. tipically performed by the common Test Team Member) would require that permission under the covers. From your answer, seems that none do.
