Brief summary of this article:
It is possible to assign users to any work item in Targetprocess. The list of roles in the Assignments can be customized. This article describes how to toggle the ability to input Effort estimates for a selected role.
Above we see QA Engineer, we want to give them the ability to estimate Effort.
Modify Role Settings Globally
The Has Effort setting for a Role determines whether it is possible or not to input Effort for the Role within the Assignments area. The list of Roles displayed with the Has Effort setting retain it globally.
Once you change the Has Effort setting for a role, the update affects all Users, Projects, and Processes in your Targetprocess instance. To modify the setting for an existing Role, use the guide for Administrators: How to configure Roles.
Be extremely careful when modifying existing Roles. Deactivation of the Has Effort setting for a Role may cause massive loss of previously made estimations for this Role in every work item in all Projects.
Modify Role Settings per Entity Type and Process
It is possible to estimate Effort for an entity for a Role only when there is at least one state having the Role selected as Responsible role in the entity workflow.
