With a project area, you can control who has access to
the project area, its team areas, and its artifacts, such as work
items, iteration plans, test plans, requirements, builds, and files
under source control.
Before you begin
You must have permission to modify the project area. This
can be any one of the following:
- A user whose role has permission to modify the project area.
- A user who is an administrator of the project area.
- A user who is granted either the JazzProjectAdmins or JazzAdmins
repository group permissions.
About this task
When you create a project area in the project area editor,
the default access control setting grants access to members of the
project area and its team areas. When you create a project area by
using the Lifecycle Project Administration tool, the default access
control setting grants access to all users.
Procedure
- Navigate to the project area in the administrative web
interface. See Logging in for project administrators and team leads (web).
- From within the project area, click Access Control.
- Select one or more of the following options:
- No one (repository administrators only) to
grant access to only repository administrators (members of JazzAdmins).
- Members of the project area hierarchy to
grant access to all users who are members of the project area or one
of its team areas.
- Members of the project area hierarchy and users
in the access list to grant access to all users who are
members of the project area and to some other users. In the Users
to be Added to the Access List section, click Add.
Select the users to whom you want to grant read access. You do not
need to add users who are members of the project area hierarchy.
- Users in the access list only to grant
access to a specific set of users. In the Users to be Added
to the Access List section, click Add.
Select the users to whom you want to grant read access. To revoke
read access for a specific user, click Add in
the Users to be Removed from the Access List section,
then select the user for whom you want to revoke read access.
- Search in the Browse Access
List section to see all users in the access list. You
can also search for a specific user in the list.
- Click Save to save your changes.
None of the access changes takes effect until you save the project
area.
