Unable to associate change set with work items : JazzAdmins

0
Gilles Tabary (76●7●6) | asked Oct 05 '10, 11:09 a.m.
Hello.

A user can not associate a change set he does not own to a work item. He gets an error : 
Source Control Operation (failed)

    Permission demied



Problem

    Permission denied during "Source Control Operation"

    The user "---" does not have enough permissions on associate a Work Item to a change set  owned by by an other user. The role JazzAdmins is required to perform this operation.



# In an other pop up I get 

The operation is not governed by process


I searched for help and ideas. Found Unable to associate work items with change sets and Question about change sets attached to multiple work items. But is seams not to be my issue.

I can as a JazzAdmins user do this operation.

I tried giving _all_ permissions to this user : project admin, team admin plus all process permissions. It did not help. I looked into roles and permissions for something like "associate" permission. But I am not successful. I found things like com.ibm.team.scm.ChangeSet, scm.MicroChangeSetActivity, com.ibm.team.scm.server.modifyChangeset. But I don't know if I can do something with it. Obviously I can not give JAzzAdmins permission for this requirement.

Ideas ?

== Context ==
I am trying to invent a way to code review snapshots. I.e. review all change sets found "between" 2 snapshots, and give a user a way to classify change sets into "accepted" and "rejected" groups. I thought of work item for doing so.

I agree that a user should be able to associate any change set with a
work item that is writable by that user. This has been requested in
work item 57870. Please feel free to indicate your interest/support for
this functionality by adding a comment to that work item.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hello.
Thanks for the pointer to 57870. It makes me think I didn't miss something obvious : no solution to this technical whish. Now, question remains : is my idea of "triaging" change sets through work item association, for code review purpose, good ? Ideas any one ?
Regards.
Gilles

One thing puzzles me though. If a "JazzAdmin" user can do this operation, there must be an "if" somewhere testing this permission. What would be the test ? Couldn't I find the element or property tested on, and/or the operation the test is performed on ? Like maybe com.ibm.team.scm.server.modifyChangeset.

WRT reviews, aren't the developers already associating their change-sets
with an appropriate work item? (And if they aren't, they should be :-).
And if so, you can just add a "code review" approval to that work
item, which will queue it up for code review.

Geoff

Hi again.

To my understanding, adding a "code review" approval to a work item, will queue it up for code review all-right, but will halt it being delivered on an integration stream for example. And because my idea is that we should review snapshots only ( because this is the CM object actually delivered ) this feature did not came to my mind as a good candidate.

The other idea is that their may be many many delivery a day on a stream, and I can't imagine halting every single developer each time he/she has to deliver. I try to clearly split code review and delivery activities so the velocity of the later does not impact the former.

Does this snapshot code review approach as opposed to change set / work item seams kind of acceptable ? To me it comes as most intuitive way.

Thanks.
Gilles
