Restricting read access to a project area

By default, all users have read access to the project area and its artifacts, such as work items, iteration plans, builds, and files under source control. You can restrict access to users who are members of the project area or one of its team areas. You can also restrict access to specific users.

Before you begin

You must be logged in to the Admin Web UI and be a member of either the JazzProjectAdmins group or the JazzAdmins group.
