Requirements Manager Stream Read Access
We have a single project with multiple streams, where each defines the requirements for a version of a product (such as Product A and Product B).
I can see that we can use teams to control who can write to Product A vs Product B.
How can we limit read access (so that the work done on Product B cannot be seen by people in a team that are working on Product A)?
FYI, this seems to be a feature that was built into RTC.

I don't think this is currently supported. Neither DOORS Next nor ETM support specifying team areas for their local components or local configurations. Configuration-based read access control was a potential future feature that was considered a couple of years ago, but put aside due to other competing higher priority work. Please feel free to submit an RFE through https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=productsList&BRAND_ID=1.
As David says this isn't currently possible in one project; a user who is a member of the project can read any component,.
You could use separate projects i.e. one component per product), and either:
1) manage read access perhaps using Access Control (in Manage this Project Area).
1) manage read access perhaps using Access Control (in Manage this Project Area).
or 2) manage read access by membership with a role that has all permissions for modifying turned off
Are your products A and B actually variants of a single product? If not then a component per product makes sense anyway.
