Jazz Source Code Control Read Permission


Yongcheng Li (311110) | asked Sep 11 '09, 9:37 a.m.
In current RTC, does everyone have read permission to source code? Is there a way to configure Jazz to restrict the read access to source code to only a subset of the project members?

Thanks!

In RTC 2.0, read access to source code is controlled at the component
level. Who can read a component is controlled by the project area that
owns that component.

Am I right to assume that when you say "project area", you mean "project area" and not "project area or team area"?

There is a video (http://jazz.net/library/video/54) that seems to contradict this. As I understand what the video says, if there is a project area P with team area T and if team T owns component C, then members of other team areas should not have read access to C.

In testing, however, that seems not to be the case. I had a user who is a member of one team attempt to access a component owned by another team and he was able to (both teams in the same project area). This is consistent with the text on the Access Control tab of the Project Area view in the RTC client.

At this point, it seems to me that the video is just wrong. But perhaps there's something I'm not understanding.
