rtc - Why is 'Components' tree structure empty - RTC source control

Question

In RTC source control when I expand the Team Area I have this view :

I can see the stream and its components. What decides if components should appear in Components folder ? As can be seen in screenshot this is currently empty. For other developers this is populated with components even though they cannot see the streams ?

Answer 1

You see all components that are visible to you.

In other words, it depends on the ownership for each component.

• Any component owned by the project area or your Team Area would be displayed in the Component section.
• Any component owned by a single resource (a member of the RTC project area) or another Team Area (that you aren't part of) won't be displayed there.

The same would apply for the streams: check the owner of those streams to understand why a resource doesn't see it.

Whats the point of hiding a stream if the components themselves are not hidden ?

The point (in hiding Stream even though it doesn't hide component) is preventing users to deliver to that stream: they can still work on the same set of component (visible because of the right ownership), but they can no longer see (and deliver to) a given Stream.
