who s wrong.. Teamsite is not obeying role list

Hi Friends,
I know this a very basic question. But its driving me crazy..
I have put a <user-list> in available_templates.cfg for a workflow. It looks like
<user_list>
<user value="stage\mdocadm" include="yes"/>
<user value="stage\mgapusr1" include="yes"/>
<user value="all" include="no"/>
</user_list>
I did not put any <role-list>. It works on fine on cms staging and production, when I log in Teamsite through UI.
But if try to login on cms staging with URL like
http://cmsserver/iw/webdesk/teamsite/launch.jsp?iw_user=mgapusr2&iw_password=123456&iw_which_ui=ccpro&iw_role=editor

It gives error, that no workflow in configured. Strange thing is that, this works fine on production.
Then I put the <role-list> in staging like follows
<role_list>
<role value='Editor' include='yes' allusers='no'/>
< /role_list>
But this also, works only if I log into Teamsite through UI. If I log in with URL, it throws error, for every user. If I give alluser=yes, it works on staging, but allows to every user. I can not give alluser='yes', as I want to restrict few users invoking the workflow.
overall, it is working fine on production, but not on staging.
can it be because of any difference in stage and prod..?
version and Build number is same on both environments..
any expert mind....

Env: Teamsite 6.5 SP2 , Windows server 2003

thanks in advance,
amit

well.. i m still finding who is wrong. But found the resolution of problem.
I had mention
<user_list>
<user value="stage\pdocadm" include="yes"/>
<user value="stage\pgapusr1" include="yes"/>
</user_list>
when I gave the entry like
<user_list>
<user value="stage\pdocadm" include="yes"/>
<user value="pgapusr1" include="yes"/>
</user_list>
It worked for pgapusr1. When I log in with URL with user=pgapusr1, teamsite does recognise it as a default domain 'stage'. But, if I mention default domain in user_list in available_templates.cfg (stage\pgapusr1), why it didnt check for that. I know, there is no need of default domain. But TS should have understood that.

thanks,

If you just adjust your URL to include the domain name information it should work for both your URL and logging in through the GUI.

If you don't specify a domain for a userid it's questionable as to the best way to interpret it - I believe TeamSite will not make any assumptions about default domains - and that's probably the correct thing to [not] do.
