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.

Deleting a team space

You might want to delete a team space when it is no longer needed.

Before you begin

You must have been assigned the role of a Team Space Owner of IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server.

About this task

As a Team Space Owner, you can delete a team space that you do not need. When you delete a team space, it is a permanent deletion. You cannot undo the delete action on a team space.

If you delete the initial team space, then you can only view the Team Space Dashboard page without any navigation pane.

After you delete the team space, you can use the name of the team space again.

Procedure

Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.
The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
Click the Settings icon from the left navigation pane.
Identify the team space that you want to delete.
You can either use the same team space where you are working or switch to any other team space.
Click Manage team space.
The Details page is displayed.
Click Delete Team Space.
Confirm that you want to delete the team space when prompted.

If you proceed, the team space is deleted including all of its projects and members.

Results

You have deleted the selected team space.

What to do next

You can view the available team spaces on the Team Space Dashboard page. See Viewing team spaces.

After you delete a team space, the license that is used for that team space is released and is available to configure the other team spaces, if required. See Configuring licenses for team spaces .
