Assigning teams directly to items

You can assign a team to an object when you create the object.

About this task

Many of the items that you create, such as components, can have teams assigned to them. When a team is assigned to an item, only team members with the appropriate permissions can interact with the affected item. Teams can be assigned when an object is created (in the associated Create New item window), by using the Configuration page after the item is created, or mapped to a team with the object mapping security feature, see Mapping teams to objects.

Procedure

  1. Open the Configuration pane or Create New item dialog box for an item, such as an application environment. For a list of product areas that can have teams that are assigned to them, see Security types.

    In the following figure, the Teams field is displayed on the Create New Component window.

  2. Click the plus-sign and then select a team from the Team list.
  3. Select a role for the object from the Role list. The role defines the set of object permissions available to the team. Security roles for the current product area are available. Initially, a product area, such as components, has a single role that is defined for it, the standard role. For information about security roles, see Roles and permissions.
  4. Click Add. More than one team can be added to an item. The selected team or teams can interact with the object immediately. Teams are listed on the Configuration page that is associated with the object.
  5. To remove a team from an object, click the cancel icon for the team.
