VALIDUSER Element (Work Item Type Definition Schema)

The VALIDUSER element specifies that the field must contain a member of the Team Foundation Valid Users group. You can set this rule to support the optional group attribute that specifies whether the user must be a direct or indirect member of the group that you specify. By default, this rule enables all users who are members of the Team Foundation Valid Users group to be specified in the field.

<xs:element name="VALIDUSER" type="ValidUserRule"/>

<VALIDUSER group="group name" for="user name" not="user name" />

Parent Elements

Element

Description

FIELD Element (WORKFLOW)

Required element.

References a work item field definition and the rules and conditions that apply to the field. The reference is based on the STATE, TRANSITION, DEFAULTREASON, or REASON element that its parent FIELDS element is a child of.

FIELD Element (WORKITEMTYPE Element)

Required element.

Defines a work item field and specifies the rules and conditions that apply to it.

Remarks

VALIDUSER is an optional child element of FIELD (Work Item Type Definition Schema) and FIELD (WORKITEMTYPE element). The VALIDUSER rule is valid only for String field types.

If you do not define one of the optional attributes, all valid Team Foundation Server users and groups will be able to modify the field.

Warning

Work item fields do not distinguish between user identities in different domains. Therefore, "Example1\jaepak" and "Example2\jaepak" are treated as the same user when they are entered into a field that uses the VALIDUSER rule. However, user identities are distinguished by domains elsewhere in Team Foundation Server.

Example

<VALIDUSER for="user name" not="user name" group="group name" />
