    What is Work Item Web Access (WIWA)?

    WIWA is a Web UI that allows using some work item tracking features even if the user doesn’t have a Client Access License (CAL). It’s based on TSWA, but provided as a separate download. WIWA simply enables 3 core “file-a-bug” scenarios stated in the TFS 2008 EULA.

    As a user without a TFS CAL, you can use Work Item Web Access (WIWA) to:

    * Create new work items
    * Edit the work item you have created
    * See the list of work items you have created

    However, you cannot:

    * See work items created by others
    * List, view, edit or run work item queries
    * Add, edit or remove work item links (except attachments and hyperlinks)
    * Access documents stored on the project portal
    * Access project reports
    * Access source control
    * Access team build



    You can download the CTP release for Work Item Web Access 2008 at:
