Selective commit access for some code
![]()
I'm evaluating RTC for a project, and we have a perhaps-unusual requirement that I'm struggling with how to implement.
The requirement is that while the whole team (which actually consists of three sub-teams) should have read access to the entire project source code, there is a "protected" subset which only one of the three sub-teams should be able to change. The remainder of the code should be fully accessible to the entire team. This structure needs to be implemented across multiple streams, too. We'll have a development "trunk" stream, with other streams for client-specific work or other applications, but the same access controls must apply. Also, we may incorporate additional teams that should have access only to these client-specific streams, and they should have no access at all to the "protected" code. This code protection issue is contractually required, so it needs to be fairly bulletproof. Can I accomplish something like this? How would I go about it? Please excuse me if my terminology is off. I'm new to RTC. |

You should put your protected code into a component or several components without mixing it with unprotected code in the same component. Then, you can use the Restrict deliver precondition giving write access to those components in each stream just for the team area owner of the code. This precondition can be configured per component per stream. It is new in RTC 2.0 and you can read more about it and such scenario at: http://jazz.net/library/article/215#componentadvisor Hope it helps, Chemi. |
