Work Item Only View (Team System Web Access)

Team System Web Access provides a work item only view that restricts functionality so that you can create and view only your own work items. This view is designed to facilitate working with Team Foundation Server when you do not have a client access license (CAL). You do not need a CAL to create new work items or to view and update work items that you created. The work item only view restricts functionality so that you are in compliance with this aspect of the Team Foundation Server end user license agreement. For more information, see Visual Studio Team System 2008 Licensing White Paper.

To access the work item only view, use the following URL syntax:

http://Server:8090/wiwa

Where Server is the name of the computer that is running Team System Web Access.
