Creating a team space

To manage projects in the logical containers of IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you must create team spaces.

Before you begin

You must have been assigned the role of a server administrator of Rational® Test Automation Server.

About this task

As a server administrator, you can create multiple team spaces on Rational® Test Automation Server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.
    The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
  2. Click the Settings icon ibm_settings_icon from the left navigation pane, and then click Create team space.
    The New Team Space dialog is displayed.
  3. Provide a name to the team space.
    The URL alias field is automatically filled.
    Note: If you modify the name of a team space, the URL alias is also modified automatically.
  4. Optional: Modify the URL alias for the team space, if required.
    Note: You must enter the URL alias that starts with a letter.
  5. Select an option to set the permissions to access the team space. You can select any one of the following options:
    • Permissive – When a team space is set as Permissive, the new user gets the permissions automatically on sending the request to become a member of that team space.
    • Restrictive – When a team space is set as Restrictive, the Team Space Owner provides permission to the new user who becomes a member of that team space.
      You can set the visibility mode of the Restrictive type team space as Public or Private.
      • The Public team space is visible to all users in the Team Space Dashboard.
      • The Private team space is visible only to the members of that team space in the Team Space Dashboard.
      Note: If you select the Restrictive type team space, then the default setting of the team space becomes Public.
  6. Provide a brief description of the team space.
  7. Select the owner of the team space from the list of users who accessed the application.

    The selected user is assigned the role of a Team Space Owner.

    Note: You can assign the Team Space Owner role to only one user when you create a team space.
  8. Click Create.
    The dashboard of the team space is displayed.
