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.

Thank you for the feedback. Good usability concepts here for us to improve licensing and permissions.

Kieron, it is a little confusing.  I'm guessing you had a QM license assigned?  A QM license will allow you to create requirements, but not templates.  It's shown in this table: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc/topics/c_license_mgmt_over.html#licensemgmtover__typesOfCals

Good observations, yes I had the QM Quality Professional licence. That's a useful link to have for future reference.
