Generating Email Invitations to Join Projects

Hi. I am on a centralized ALM tool support team which implemented and supports RTC, therefore I belong to JazzAdmins. I just created a new project. I added two members to the project and to the default team and granted them "Team Leader" role/permissions at both levels. This role has full permissions at project and team levels.

When it came time to generate the standard email invitations, it failed with "No permission to perform this action".

In order to send the email invitations, I needed to first add myself to the project with "Team Lead" role/permissions which includes the required "Generate a team invitation" permission.

It seems somewhat bogus that we, as JazzAdmins, cannot generate email invitations without first adding ourselves to the project and granting ourselves the required role which contains the required permission, in our case, Team Lead.

Is this perhaps a defect? If not, then we would seriously consider submitting an enhancement request.

Thanks,
-Tim

Hi Tim,

I agree that since the main thing an admin has rights to do is to
add/remove users to the project, you would want admins to have the right
to send this email. I'd probably classify it as an enhancement request.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Tim,

Yes, please go head and submit (alternatively, I could submit it for you
if you prefer, but lots of folks find that its kind of fun to submit it
themselves :-).

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Goeff,

I went ahead and submitted an Enhancement Request. Please take a quick pass and update as you deem appropriate, especially the title:

Thanks again for your continued support and guidance!
