Restricting Access to Assigned Work Items
Is it possible to restrict team members from seeing eachother's assigned work items? For example, if I'm a manager, I may not want developer X to know that I've assigned developer Y half the work.

Many people have requested (quite reasonably) the ability to prevent members of one project from seeing the work items in a different project. But yours is the first request I have seen to restrict read access for people on the same team. To me that doesn't make sense. One of the strengths of Jazz is the ease with which the entire team can see what the entire team is doing. That visibility fosters cooperation and collaboration between team members and helps identify conflicts sooner rather than later. If I am developer X and I need to work on the same team as developer Y, I want to know what developer Y is working on. Not being allowed to know that would cause conflicts and inefficiencies. |
No. I suppose there is a good reason for this but on the surface your
example would appear to be contrary to the notion of transparent development and inhibits team collaboration. Jim D'Anjou Jazz/RTC Jumpstart ytadesse wrote: Is it possible to restrict team members from seeing eachother's |
There are reasons why one team would not want outsiders or outside teams to have access to their project, YET, still work as a team.
One example could be that I have 10 consultants working within RTC on a project, and our team (team of 50) is working on a new confidential project. Above us, management wants to run reports and have visibility across and containing it all. |

Yes, providing read access control is very important, and a high
priority item for RTC 2.0. The workaround for RTC 1.0 is to put the confidential projects into a separate repository. Cheers, Geoff pawrampe wrote: There are reasons why one team would not want outsiders or outside |
What about the notion of limiting write access. As in CQ (RATLC) for example only the work item submitter and admins can modify work items, that does not seem to be restricted in RTC 2.0. It could be quite dangerous...any plans for this in the future?

Write access to work items can be controlled in quite fine-grained ways
by using Jazz process. This has been the case since the first release of RTC-1.0. See the permissions section of the project area's process definition. Cheers, Geoff dlieu wrote: What about the notion of limiting write access. As in CQ (RATLC) for |

Hi Geoff,
I see all the permission attributes for my team (contributor, managers, etc..). I would like to allow only the submitter of the work item to modify it along with the admins. If unselecting "add comment" from the Modify work item permissions for contributors does that now mean anyone belonging to contributors can not add comments or only those that did not create the original work item... Write access to work items can be controlled in quite fine-grained ways |

Currently, you cannot give special permissions to the "creator" of an
object, but I agree that you should be able to. I've submitted work item 88779 for this enhancement. Cheers, Geof dlieu wrote: Hi Geoff, |
