Administrators can set permissions and roles in the Jazz™ Team Server Administrative Web UI (https://<hostname or IP>:9443/jazz/admin) and on the Administration project page in the Rational® Requirements Composer client.
Use combinations of Jazz repository permissions, client access licenses, and project roles to grant permissions for tasks in Rational Requirements Composer.
Set permissions and roles in the following locations:
- Create users and set permissions and roles for them in the Jazz Team Server Admin Web UI:
- repository permissions (on the User Management/Create User page)
- client access licenses (on the User Management/Create User page)
- Add users to a project and set the project roles for users in the Rational Requirements Composer client in the Members list on the Administration project page (or in the Jazz Team Server Admin Web UI). Four default roles are supported. Examples of tasks permitted for these roles are shown:
- An Administrator can add and remove users in a project; create, edit, and delete a connection to Rational RequisitePro and Rational Doors; manage artifact templates, manage attribute groups, and access the Administration project page. An administrator must have an Author client access license.
- An Author can create and delete artifacts such as requirements, user interface sketches, and business process sketches; comment on artifacts; create personal and shared tags and apply them to artifacts; and move resources between folders. An author must have Author client access license.
- A Commenter can view artifacts such as requirements, user interface sketches, and business process sketches; participate in reviews, comment on artifacts; create personal tags and apply them to artifacts. A reviewer must have Reviewer or Author client access license.
- A Project Snapshot administrator can manage project snapshots

- In the Jazz Admin Web UI tool, select Project Area Management and then select a project to configure.
- Click the Roles tab and define a new role.
- Click on the Permission tab, and then select Project Configuration. From here you can define the permitted actions for each defined role. For more information refer to Configuring user permissions.
