RTC users/groups questions
1. Can I batch import users( and repository roles etc) from CSV file?
2. Why there is no group structure in RTC? I can have set of users assigned to a particular group (Java developers group) and assign that group to the team area instead of assigning individual team member to team area.
3. Can I create a new project based on an existing project maintaining the same team structure?
Thanks!

Hi,
For 1. Please have a look into the JTS or RTC reporools. There is a command to export/import users with repository permissions. Also LDAP would help with the import.
For 2. There is a group structure not just for the purpose you want. The idea is that a user could be in several projects/teams also with different roles. There are several work items for various potential enhancements in this area. Those typically refer to LDAP however.
For 3. I don't think there is such a capability. You can have a project template that maintains the team structure and use that to create your project. I have discussed that with another user recently and one thing that might be possible would be using the Plain Java Client Library (from the download page) to create a small java program that does this for you. The Plain Java Client Library provides several snippets that could hint how to proceed.
