Permission Denied exception while moving workitems from one project area to another, when user is not added at the project area level
Hello,
I have a user who is a member of only Team Area in Project Area 'A' with all the permissions to move the work items.
[he is not a member at the project area level in Project Area 'A'].
When he is trying to move the work items from Project Area 'A' to project Area 'B' he is getting Permission Denied Exception. He has all the permissions to move/create/delete work items in Project Area 'A' and 'B'.
But when i add him as a member at the project area level in Project Area 'A' , he is able to move the work items successfully.
Why is this happening? Is this the feature of RTC? If so, can you please provide me some RTC documentation links for the same.
Thanks,
Shwetha

Yes, this is a feature of RTC, I think. It has to do with how permissions work. In case you don't know how that works, you want to read

and likely also
When he is trying to move the work items from Project Area 'A' to project Area 'B' he is getting Permission Denied Exception. He has all the permissions to move/create/delete work items in Project Area 'A' and 'B'.You think he has all the permissions. I can not see on what information this is based. If your user is not member of the project area they are trying to move the work items from/to, (I think) they will not have any role other than the default role in the project area. The default role (Everyone) might not have the permissions set to move/create/delete work items. So unless the work item the user tries to move is filed against the team area they are member of and they have roles and permissions configured in the team area, you might see these permission errors.
