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.

Before you begin

You must be a licensed user.

About this task

If you want to become a member of a Restrictive team space, then only the owner of that team space can grant you the role of a member of a team space. If you request to become a member of a Permissive team space, then you automatically become a member of that team space.

Note: The server administrator can join any team space automatically without any approval and is assigned with a default role of Team Space Owner.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.
    The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
  2. Click the Settings icon from the left navigation pane, and then Join another team space.
    The Team Space Dashboard is displayed.
    You can view the team spaces in the following panels:
    • My Team Spaces: You can view all the team spaces that you created. You can also view the team spaces in which you are a member.
    • Other Team Spaces: You can view all the team spaces that are created by others.
      Note:

      You can view only the public type of Restrictive team spaces and the Permissive team spaces. You cannot view the Restrictive private type team spaces.

  3. Select the team space that you want to join from the list of other team spaces in the Team Space Dashboard.
  4. Click the Key icon of the selected team space.
  5. Confirm your request when prompted.

    If you agree, then the Team Space Owner sees a notification about the request.

    After opening the notification, the Team Space Owner can view the user who is requesting the access and can accept or decline the request. If the Team Space Owner accepts your request, you are added and assigned a Member role.

    Notes:
    • You can become a member of any team space only when the license of the selected team space is configured.
    • If you are a server administrator, then the Team Space Owner role is the default role assigned.
    • If you are a licensed user, then the Member role is the default role assigned and is restricted to specific actions.

    You can then see the team space under My Team Spaces on the Team Space Dashboard page.

    You might want to follow up with the Team Space Owner if your request is pending for some time.
