unbreakable approval


Yehiel Glass (25538986) | asked Sep 14 '11, 6:20 a.m.
Hi,

After a Workitem has been approved, any change in the Workitem or in it's linked changesets will not break the approval. (delivery also won't break the approval so you can deliver again with the same approved workitem).
An unbreakable approval is like sign on a flat page - someone can add many commits above..
Did I wrong in my tests, or it's a bug?

Thanks,
Yehiel

Hi friends,

I also see that a regular user (not admin) can configure and save the project area, and can delete someone else comment on Work-item.

How can I fix these security issues? It's very important for me.

Thanks,

You can define what roles (if any) are allowed to modify the project
area itself in the permissions section of the project area editor.

Cheers,

Hi Geoff,

I uncheck the permissions section "save project area" but any user can save the project area.
What can be wrong?

Thanks,

You'll probably want to work with Rational Support on this, so they can
see why this is happening in your environment ... but it definitely is
the case that the ability to save a project area is controlled by
permissions, so you should be able to prevent users from being able to
save the project area.

Geoff
