load_components_and_configurations fails when trying to get all components and configurations from one QM project area #59
Description
Hi there,
First of all - I am not an OSLC expert, just a user who wants to do something with this package.
Currently I am a user which has access only to some particular QM project areas (not all project areas).
So when trying to find a specific component (which is accessible to me), I use this simple code snipped:
import elmclient.server as elmserver
...
obj_server = elmserver.JazzTeamServer(str_host, str_user, str_pass, verifysslcerts=False, jtsappstring="jts:jts", appstring="qm", cachingcontrol=0)
obj_app = obj_server.find_app('qm', ok_to_create=True)
obj_project = obj_app.find_project(str_project_area_name)
obj_component = obj_project.find_local_component(str_component_name)
Which throws the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\XXX\.venv\Lib\site-packages\elmclient\_qm.py", line 296, in find_local_component
self.load_components_and_configurations()

When trying to access the URL https://host/qm/oslc_config/resources/com.ibm.team.vvc.Component using my web browser, I get the following error message displayed:
The user "XXX" does not have permission to read item "_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", which has the "ProjectArea" item type.
It seems that it querys all components of all project areas - including those which are not accessible for me - for some reason.
Does anybody know how to evade this issue?

Are you using the most recent elmclient version 0.26? Which version of Python, is it from python.org?
What version+ifix of ELM are you using?
I've found this defect is probably the cause of errors when you don't have read access to a project https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Quality%20Manager#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=189010
It's resolved in 7.0.3.
I'm afraid that until you can upgrade to 7.0.3 the only really practicable workaround are to be made a member of every project, or get JazzAdmin privilege :-o

Hello,
For information I'm still facing the exact same issue even with ELM 7.0.3 and the version 0.34.0 of the ELM-Python-Client :/
Is there any workaround to force the component and config definition by providing directly their URI without using this URL
