The news application in TeamForge does not have its own permissions. Users' ability to view project news depends on their level of access to the project itself. The permissions for the CollabNet Enterprise Edition Announcements tool are mapped to the closest possible project permissions in the TeamForge.
Permission Mapping Details
| CollabNet Enterprise Edition Permission | TeamForge 16.3 Permission | Change in Behavior | Functionality Loss/Gain Details | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project News - Approve | None | User loses the permission | The user will not be able to create the news if the role does not have the "Project Admin" permissions | These tasks are project administrator only tasks in TeamForge. It is not correct to grant the "Project Admin" permissions to map this permission as that will grant much higher privilege. Hence, this permission is dropped. |
| Project News - Delete | None | User loses the permission | The user will not be able to delete the news if the role does not have the "Project Admin" permissions | These tasks are project administrator only tasks in TeamForge. It is not correct to grant the "Project Admin" permissions to map this permission as that will grant much higher privilege. Hence, this permission is dropped. |
| Project News - Edit | None | User loses the permission | The user will not be able to edit the news if the role does not have the "Project Admin" permissions | These tasks are project administrator only tasks in TeamForge. It is not correct to grant the "Project Admin" permissions to map this permission as that will grant much higher privilege. Hence, this permission is dropped. |
| Project News - Suggest | None | Feature is not available in TeamForge | TeamForge 16.3 doesn't have any such permission. | |
| Project News - View | None | CollabNet Enterprise Edition permission is retained | In TeamForge 16.3, if the user has a role, then the "Project - view" permission is automatically granted. |
