Restricting who can add Workitems

Hi All,

Would like to know if you can filter out who can create workitems. I only see the ability to Edit and List. And the Edit does restrict but also does not allow one to EDIT a workitem he/se is assigned.

Any help would be appricated.

You can restrict who can create work item by security on the state transition that brings the work item to new state. See transition security documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms194954.aspx . In work item type xml, you can add "for" and "not" attibutes for initial state transition <TRANSITION from="" to="Active">
