Teams in DoorsNG - does it restrict access to artifacts

I'm struggling a little bit with why I would create team areas in DoorsNG 6.0.1 and above - it does not appear to be a way to restrict visibility to assest based on team membership

So the question is, is it supposed to ?  

I've tried creating a folder with an association to a team area - adding a user to the membership of the team, but not the project level membership, and irrespective this user can see everything. 

I was hoping that the teams could be used to do artifact restriction in the same way that we can do that in RTC using a team and an attribute.

As an extension of this, is there a way to do this if its not by "teams"

 Creating team areas can provide visibility restriction on shared tags and views (as of v6.0.1).  It does not provide visibility restriction on folders in a project area.  Setting ownership on a folder or artifact restricts creation/modification to members of the team area.


To get visibility restriction to what you want, you'll have to create separate project areas.

Thanks thats what I thought but before I put my foot in my mouth wanted to get the general concensus that this was indeed the case.

If you do not have any kind of collaboration/reuse within the teams, you can create different project areas.

Not sure that answered the question of "is it supposed to provide visibility restriction" - I'm guess the answer is no and we have to use separate project areas for documentation that should not be seen by all
