  2. Log on to the Jazz Team Server with the user ID and password that you used when you first installed and configured the server.
  3. Complete the following steps:
    1. Click Project Area Management.
    2. Click the project that you want to configure.
    3. Click the Permissions tab.
    4. In the Configuration section, click Project Configuration . The Roles and the Permitted Actions that are associated with the roles appear in the Details section of the window.
