TeamForge 17.11 Permissions for Announcements

The news application in TeamForge does not have its own permissions. Users' ability to view project news depends on their level of access to the project itself. The permissions for the CollabNet Enterprise Edition Announcements tool are mapped to the closest possible project permissions in the TeamForge.

Project News - Approve None User loses the permission The user will not be able to create the news if the role does not have the "Project Admin" permissions These tasks are project administrator only tasks in TeamForge.
