Cannot create or edit an artifact template in RRC
This isn't a question looking for an answer, but a gotcha which I've solved.
I have full JazzAdmins authority on my Jazz server and recently created a new RRC project and my id had the Author and Administrator roles. I could edit and save artifacts as you would expect with these authorities. I then wanted to create an artifact template but following the documentation I could not see the button on an existing artifact to create the template nor did I see the Create Template button in the templates section in the Project Properties pages. I was quite confused by this apparent disconnect of authorities and lack of ability to create templates.
In the end I remembered I had not given myself any licences for RRC and so I added the Contributor licence to my profile, and viola, I could now create templates.
The confusion here was that although I didn't have the licence assigned that a normal user would need to create and edit artifacts, I guess my JazzAdmin authority overrode the fact that I shouldn't have been able to save regular artifacts. If my lack of licence had prevented my from editing artifacts, I would have worked this one out a lot sooner.
