Permission problem when creating task

Being a JazzAdmin grants you certain low-level repository permissions
like the ability to create new users and new project areas. But beyond
that, permissions in Jazz are managed per project area.

If someone else has set up your project area, I would suggest contacting
them. In all likelyhood, they've limited permission to save work items
to users with a specific process role and you would simply need to be
granted this role.

If this is a project area that you're managing, then you should open the
project area editor and go to the Process Configuration page. In this
page, expand the Team Configuration node and select "Permissions". Here
you will see the permissions for the "Save Work Item "
operation, which you can either grant to a specific role or to everyone
in the repository.

Our Team Concert database is LDAP enabled and I am using an user id
with JazzAdmin Authority. When I tried to create a task and save it,
I got the error below,

Problem
You don't have permission to Save Work Item .

Reason
In order to carry out this operation, you would need permission to
perform the following additional actions:
Action: Id:
Modify the work item's
summary modify/summary
Modify the work item's
type modify/type
Create a 'Task' work item create/type/task
Modify the work item's
resolution modify/resolution

Any ideas on how to resolve the permission issue ?

I selected all the Permitted actions for Everyone. I used the Simple Team process template when I created the project. However, I am still unable to save the enhancement request.

A team area can override permissions from the project area. The work item editor shows the team area the work item is associated with and will be used for permissions checks. Could you check the permissions in that team area (and if it does not have permissions specified in its parent team areas if any)?

Giving Everyone Work Item permission in Team Configuration fixed the problem. But instead of doing that, I just added the user as one of the team members and that allowed me to save the work item also.

Thanks for the suggestion Christof. Thanks also Jared.
