Hi Sagar,
You can prevent the user from creating a work item off a particular work item type by using the approach you outlined. However, if at a later stage, you choose to include this type (especially with custom types), you would need to redo all the associated workflow, editor etc. which might not seem a fruitful option. Alternatively, you can configure the permissions such that you could deny a particular role from creating a work item off a particular work item type by unchecking the appropriate box under Project Configuration>Team Configuration>Permissions. In that window go to Work Items>Save Work Item>Create a Work Item>Create Work Item of a specific type and deny the appropriate permission based on your requirement to the roles (please keep in mind to deny from the Everyone role as well as every user inherits that role). Hope this helps. Shashank RTC - Tracking and Planning |

Hi shashank,
This method id not working for me.. am i doing anything wrong here I did exactly what you had mentioned. open up Project--->process configuration--- Team Configuration>Permissions. In that window go to Work Items>Save Work Item>Create a Work Item>Create Work Item of a specific type removed checkmark from workitem type which i do not want it to save. removed for all roles as we do not want to use this workitem type I was still able to create the workitem and save it .. what did i miss here ? -Thanks Sagar Hi Sagar, |

Are you saving the project configuration once you have made the changes as I tried those steps and was not able to save the work item?

i am also wonderinf why is it not working -Sagar Are you saving the project configuration once you have made the changes as I tried those steps and was not able to save the work item? Hi shashank, Hi Sagar, |
Does a team area within the project override that permission, granting
permission for everyone or for a particular role that you have? And does the work item that you are creating happen to be owned by that team area or one of its child team areas? (I doubt that is the reason. But it is worth checking.) -- David Olsen | IBM Rational | Jazz Process Team |

That was it the Team area was over riding it.
Opened up the Team Area---Process customization--permission---save work item---create workitem--create wrkitem of specific type--- and removed the workitem type i do not want it and that worked -Sagar Does a team area within the project override that permission, granting |
