 hi is there any option to add groups to projects?

I want to sort whole company as for example quality team, it, constructors etc not adding members one by one, maybe add members/groups from file or prepared group in Jazz 
Also we are thinking about do some groups for example person from HR see only HR projects etc right now each Jazz user is able to see all open project in whole company 


Jazz 6.0.2 iFix007 RM module

If one's JTS is configured to use LDAP, it is possible to have multiple LDAP groups ( at least when WebSphere is used as the application server ) configured into respective Jazz roles.   The JTS is by default configured to synchronize its user registry to the LDAP realm which will create users in the registry but it will not add new users to any kind of project area.  It is possible to configure a default license for new user.

If a repositories project areas have Access Control set to "Everyone", then all registered users can at least read project artifacts.  To update will require membership and associated roles that allow artifacts to be created and update.  The default access is "Members of the Project Hiearchy"

 Is there any option to change default access for all project from everyone to project members ?? As I see right now our all projects are set as Everyone in Access Control tab

 from other hand is there option to make access group in AD which will cooperate with projects accesses in jazz?

The default setting for access when a project is created has been the "Members only" setting since v3.   However, it can be changed by Project Admin.   I don't know of a way to  detect the value outside the UI.
The user registry ( whether LDAP or file based ) serves only to give user one of the Jazz roles ( JazzUsers, JazzGuests, JazzAdmins, etc ).   New users added to the JTS' known groups will import the ID into the JTS registry, but does not add that ID as a member to any process area ( project or team ).
