I want to create a group membership with below Template for created team project (not for new one):
<group name="Active" description="Active">
<permissions>
<permission name="GENERIC_READ" class="PROJECT" allow="true" />
<permission name="DELETE_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" />
<permission name="PUBLISH_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" />
<permission name="VIEW_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" />
<permission name="GENERIC_READ" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" />
<permission name="WORK_ITEM_READ" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" />
<permission name="WORK_ITEM_WRITE" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" />
<permission name="MANAGE_TEST_PLANS" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" />
<permission name="MANAGE_TEST_ENVIRONMENTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" />
<permission name="MANAGE_TEST_CONFIGURATIONS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" />
</permissions>
</group>
note that in the existing wizard for creating new group membership(Context Menu>Team Project Settings>Group Membership), I can not set WORK_ITEM_WRITE and WORK_ITEM_READ permission!
In the XML, it says
class="CSS_NODE"
. This means thatWORK_ITEM_WRITE
andWORK_ITEM_READ
permissions are set for each Area in a Team Project, rather than the Team Project itself.Area-level permissions are specific to a single project's users and groups. You can set these permissions by right-clicking the project in Team Explorer, clicking Areas and Iterations, and on the Area tab, clicking Security.
See 'Area-level permissions' on the Team Foundation Server Permissions page on MSDN.
