Access Rights for Work Items

In my own process template I have a group of users calledDevelopers ([PROJECT]\Developers)with the only one permission ofPROJECT.GENERIC_READ = Allow, and I have a work item typeBug with the starting state Submitted without any limitationsFor orNot for some users/groups (i.e. any user can submit a bug). However, from inside the real project (process template instance) people from the group Developers cannot either submit new bugs or even view the exisiting ones (via queries). Thus, I have two questions:

  1. What access rights must a person have (on the server/project/etc. level) to submit new bugs and to view the existing ones?
  2. How can I update theGroupsandPermissions.xml in an existing project if I fix the problem with access rights in the project template? Or is there any other way to specify the needed rights in the existing project?

Thanks in advance.

To view work items, users must have permission to View work items in this node. To create and change work items they must have Edit work items in this node. The tricky part is that these permissions are defined in the Areas and Iterations dailog, accessible from the Team menu under Team Project Settings. Use that to update the existing project. If you plan to create new projects, you may want to update your permissions xml file as well.
