Problem using inheritance for Roles
I created a Role at the Project level.
I them created a Team (via Team Organization).
I added my id to the Team members list and assigned the new role. (It was inherited from the Project)
When I tried to create the Work Item, it failed saying that I didn't have the necessary permission(s).
I removed my name from the Team member list and added it to the Project member list. Again I assigned the Role that I had created.
When I tried to create the Work Item. it was successful.
Am I doing something wrong - or missing a step ? Or not setting some value when I set up the Team ? There seems to be enough information for the inheritance of the Role from the parent. But when it comes to actual execution, I run into this problem.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Looks when you create the work item, it is filed against the work item category which is associated with your Project area. You should first create a work item category,and associate it with your team area, then create the work item against that category(which is associated with your team area)

Thomas, are you stating that you can only open work items against categories which are associated with areas where you are a member?
