Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
- Team space management
  You might want to become a team space member, add members to your team space, change a user role in a team space, modify the team space, or delete a team space.
  - Viewing team spaces
    After you log in to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you can view all the existing team spaces on the Team Space Dashboard page.
  - Adding members to a team space
    When you create a team space to manage projects, you must add users to your team space so that they can create and access the projects.
  - Modifying the configuration of a team space
    After you create a team space, if you want to modify the details of the team space, add a repository to your team space, add or remove members of a team space or delete a team space, then you can perform these tasks on the Team Space Configuration page.
  - Viewing the configuration of a team space
    You can view the configuration of a team space as a member of any team space. You can view the configuration details on the Team Space Configuration page.
  - Becoming a team space member
    After logging into IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, the licensed users must be a member of any team space to perform test activities in a project. As a licensed user, if you are not assigned the role of a member in any team space, then you can request the Team Space Ownerto become a member of any existing team space.
  - Managing members and their roles in a team space
    After you assign roles to the members of a team space, as a Team Space Owner, you might want to remove a member from the team space or reassign the role to the existing members of your team space.
  - Deleting a team space
    You might want to delete a team space when it is no longer needed.
- Test assets and a server project
  Rational® Test Automation Server projects manage access to your test assets, which are stored in a Git repository. Projects are maintained in a team space. Projects are either public by default or private. Private projects are not discoverable by other users. You can either add your own project or you can request to be a member of another public project.
- Managing repositories
  After you create a project in Rational® Test Automation Server, you can add repositories that contain test assets and resources to the project. You can also change the repository details, update the user credentials of a repository, delete a repository, create a webhook for the configured repository.
- Protecting API test assets by using secrets
  Secrets are key-value pairs that are created for your project in IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server under a secrets collection. You can create secrets collections for your project that enable you or members in your project to use secrets at test runtime either in Rational Test Automation Server or in desktop clients.
- Managing an encrypted dataset
  You can use encrypted datasets to limit access to confidential information such as account number or passwords. You can arrange data by an appropriate category so that project members can use datasets more effectively in certain tests and protect them.
- Managing notifications
  IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server provides a feature to display notifications for different events within the user interface (UI) of Rational Test Automation Server. You can configure an SMTP server on Rational Test Automation Server when you want Rational Test Automation Server to send out notifications about the different events as emails to the subscribed users.

Team space management

You might want to become a team space member, add members to your team space, change a user role in a team space, modify the team space, or delete a team space.

Each team space is associated with at least one Team Space Owner. You can assign multiple owners to your team space. Any user who becomes a member of a team space and is assigned the role of a Member, Project Creator, Architect, or Team Space Owner of a team space, can access the team space.

As an owner of a team space, after you create a team space, you must configure the team space license. You can then add members to the team space and can assign different roles to each member of the team space. You can update or delete a team space. You can also add a repository to a team space to store a system model and edit the repository settings. Apart from adding a repository, you can add, update, or delete the Resource Monitoring agent if no longer required.

As an Architect of a team space, you can manage a team space repository and design a system model.

As a Project Creator of a team space, you can create a project in the team space.

As a licensed user who is assigned with a Member, Project Creator, Architect, or Team Space Owner role of a team space, you can add a Docker host to your team space. You can view the configured Docker, agents, or intercepts of your team space. You can edit only those Docker hosts that you created.
