Context Participation
Participation items establish the following:
• Roles that are automatically available in a context.
• System groups that are automatically created in a context.
Product, library, project, and program contexts are associated with teams of users and user-defined groups. Any user can display all products, libraries, projects, or programs in which the user is identified as a team member. The users and user-defined groups in a team are associated with roles that identify the responsibilities and permissions of the team members. For example, the Product Manager role establishes who is in charge of the product; similarly, the Project Manager role establishes who is in charge of a project.
The set of roles and system groups that are automatically available in a context consist of the roles and system groups established in parent contexts, as well as those defined specifically for the context.
If the team established is in a context that includes a shared team, the shared team roles and system groups are defined and managed in the organization context where the shared team was created.
