Team System 2010 – Managing Queries Folders\Security
What is Queries ? Queries allow you to find work items that match a specific set of criteria. You can create, run, edit, copy, delete, and rename queries.
Team System contains default team queries, such as All Work Items, All Tasks, and All Issues.
You can create new team queries and private queries, known as My Queries, that you can customize with detailed search criteria.
One big change in Visual Studio Team System 2010 is in the Work Item area, hierarchy, links, depended item and one more thing is Folder in “Team Queries”.
In Visual Studio 2008 this “Small” issue was a blocker, because 60 different queries under the root is not so comfortable.
In Team System 2010 you can create as many folder as you need under the “Team Queries”
How to Create Queries Folders
1. Right click on “Team Queries” and “New Folder”, give it a proper name.
How to Create Queries Security Rules
2. Setup Folder Security, we can hide queries that irrelevant or “secret” queries.
In the Security tab we can define permissions to User or Group.
I changed that Tester group can only see “Test” query folder and now I don’t have so many queries when working.
Enjoy.
