Is this the first time that particular user is connecting to that project? It seems like the syncing (rewritten in beta3) is broke so the user isn't getting pulled in so they can't connect.

The syncing code looks like it's trying to write a global rule which is invalid (only setup time code creates global rules). I am forwarding this to the proper dev.

Thanks

I don't think they have installed July CTP. Looks like Beta2 code.
Any way, would you please enable tracing/logging for WorkItemTracking and provide us the trace by capturing at the time of saving the bug ( would be helpful if the trace is captured only for WI save action)

To enable tracing, the following post might be helpful

That is right. We have Beta 2, so there is later vesion (July CTP) available?

Yes, the July CTP is now available from MSDN Subscriber downloads.

Were you able to capture the trace that was requested to help diagnose the problem?
