Issue/Introduction

At the project level, when an Admin clicks the Copy Users From button, how is does Rally process those transactions.

 

This same process is also seen when creating a project and copying the users from another project

Resolution

  • For small projects (less than 500 users) the functionality and behavior is same as before:
    • A background process is initiated and users are copied from the Source Project to the Target Project.

 

  • For larger projects (more than 500 users):
    • A request to copy users immediately returns with a message indicating that the process will happen in the background and notification will be sent when done.
    • A background processing starts and users are copied in batches.
    • Notification requires email notification being turned on for the subscription and the Admin who initiates the copy.
    • A refresh of the page is necessary to see all users that are copied.
    • The revision history will also display when users are added to the project.
    • When the process is complete, an email notification is sent to the Admin who initiated the process.
