This section describes the tasks you can perform using
the Jazz™ Project Administration feature.
Process configuration
The Jazz process
is the collection of roles, practices,
rules, and guidelines used to organize and control the flow of work.
The project process is defined in a project area and can be further
customized in a team area. In Jazz, you use processes to define
user roles and their permissions for performing operations within
the tool.
Project areas and team areas
You can use Jazz Project Administration
to create and manage
project areas and team areas.
Creating a project area
You can use Jazz Project Administration to
create a new
project area and add users and administrators to the project.
Copying project settings to a new project
You can copy system properties from an existing project
to a new project. The project settings that are copied are all the
properties that are set in Admin > System Properties except for
Lab Resource Properties and Test Plan's Environment Types. You
use a command line script for this task.
Creating a team area
You can create a hierarchy of team areas within
a project
area. Then, you can add current users to the team area or even create
users and add them to the team.
Permissions and roles
Permissions and roles in IBM Rational Quality Manager determine
the features, capabilities, and tasks for application users.
Creating and modifying roles
You can modify the role definitions for a
project area
or team area. You can also add, modify, or remove individual roles
for a project or team.
Assigning roles
In Jazz Project Administration, you can assign one or several
roles to each user in the project.
Modifying role permissions
Permissions are assigned to individual
roles at the project
level or the team level in a project area or team area. You can modify
the permissions of a role for performing project operations.
Assigning administrator privileges
You can designate a user as an administrator in a project
area or a team area. The administrative control also applies to all
sub-team areas that are located within the project area or team area
where it is assigned. Administrators have administrator privileges
outside of the permissions defined by the process. They can modify
the process configuration, team membership, and user information including
Work Environment information. If users do not have the permissions
they need, they need to contact an administrator.
