Restrict View access to certain WI Types - in a project area

Hi,

You can restrict the ability to create a work item out of a type for individual roles (assuming the list of users you want to prevent from having visibility to the work item belong to some specific role). In that case, even though those users can see the work item type as an option while creating a work item, they would not be able to save it due to lack of permission.

There was a similar question posted earlier and you can find detailed steps and context here: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24844&highlight=

Hope that helps

Hi All,
Certain set of users should be able to see only certain WI Types in a project area and be able to modify them. For other types, they should not have read/write access. How can this be achieved easily?
I need to make this change across various projects - where list of users would differ in each case. Is it possible to script it up to read from a file and make changes accordingly?

Thanks.

You can restrict read access of work items that are filed against a certain category, so that only members of the team area that is associated with that category can see the work item.  I don't know of any way to restrict read access of all work items of a certain type.  (Unless you can figure out how to force all work items of that type to be filed against one of those restricted categories.  But I'm not sure how to do that.)
