We observed that even though an user is able to create testplans and testgroups through Jama UI, the same user is not able to create testplans and testgroups through REST APIs.
Users are able to create testplans and testgroups only if they have at least Manage Project permission for that project. This seems inconsistent.
Have anyone else encountered this issue? Is this by design or is this a bug?

Hi Vikas and Sam,

I did some digging into this, and it looks like it was a known issue back in the SOAP API days, filed as defect SOS-DEF-843. We dropped that bug since we were EOLing that API in favor of REST. Well, we didn't learn our lesson, apparently, because the REST API doesn't respect the correct permissions, either. We have updated SOS-DEF-843 to reflect that it is also a REST issue, and the REST team has it on their backlog.

So unfortunately, the REST user will require more permissions than a user performing these actions in the GUI.

Vikas, I have a follow-up question. Approximately how many users do you have updating test items via REST API? From what we've heard from many customers, it's common to have this done via a shared user, in which case granting Manage Project permissions isn't a big deal. (But I can see why you wouldn't want to grant a dozen individual testers Manage Project permissions.)

Thanks!

We have multiple test teams working in Jama. Also we have scenarios where users are granted access to specific projects only. So having a shared user, that too with Manage Project permission, across multiple teams and projects will not work for us.

​From what I got out of the discusion, specific user rights are required to execute a put command to a testrun?
I recieve a "Bad Request" result when I try to execute "PUT" command to update a testrun. The error Message is: "The user with ID xxxxxxx exists but is not valid user for this project"
So what right have to be granted to the user, which wants to update testruns and other Items. Funny is, I am able to add links to a test run, but not to update the testrun result.

Hi Jan,

The bug referenced here (SOS-DEF-843) indicates that any user with Create/Edit permissions do not have sufficient permissions to PUT/POST Test Plans or Test Cycles unless they are a project administrator. Try giving the authenticated user Manage Project permissions, and try the call again. Let us know if updating the user permissions doesn't do the trick. Thanks!

Hi Jim,

Would you mind

Permissions can be managed in the Admin area of Jama, when you're logged in as an Administrator:

Jama User Guide -- Set Permissions

Would you post the response you are getting back when you try to POST a Test Plan? Which version of Jama are you using?

Thanks!
