TFS work item rule doesn't work when applying to multiple (Readonly not)

I am trying to apply the (Readonly not) in a work item. So that a certain user can see the work item but cannot edit this, except for the users added in the .xml

I defined it as followed:

<Field name="MosCow" refname="company.MosCowID" type="String" reportable="dimension">
  <READONLY not="Company\John">
  <READONLY not="Company\Doe">
</Field>

Does anyone had experienced the same issue? Or anyone can give me an advice how to solve this problem?

Solution

  • You need to use a security group in this case. Just create a new group and add your users to it. Then modify your rule to check that group:

    <READONLY not="[Project]\your_group">
