  Problem summary ?
  USERS AFFECTED:?
  Users of RequisitePro client for Web (RequisiteWeb) working
  with requirements with external trace relationships to
  requirements in other projects which the user do not have
  access to.
  ?
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
  User encounters an error message when trying to modify a
  requirement with external trace relationship to a project
  the user has no access to. The error message is vague and
  does not inform the user on this behavior.
  
  RequisiteWeb requires the user to have access to the
  external projects when modifying a requirement with external
  trace relationships, as each time a requirement is modified
  the trace may need to be marked as suspect by RequisiteWeb
  in both projects involved.
  
  In this situation the message that RequisiteWeb presents
  states that the user does not have permissions to modify the
  requirement. This is not true, the user has permissions to
  modify the local requirement but the fact that it has no
  access to the external requirement is what caused the
  operation to fail. The message should be clear explaining
  this is the case.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem conclusion
  RequisiteWeb code was updated, showing a more descriptive
  error message and the suggested course of action to the
  user.
  The modification was included in RequisiteWeb version
  7.1.2.9 and 7.1.3.5.
