Controlling access to semaphores


Jonas Gryder (11663) | asked Sep 13 '10, 11:23 a.m.
I there a way to prevent users from clearing semaphores, while still being able to run a project? I can't find any permissions that seem to directly relate to semaphores, and from the documentation it is not clear to how they can be controlled.

Thanks,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

There currently isn't a permission to prevent someone from clearing a semaphore. Most of the documentation for semaphores is in the 'Working with jobs -> Administering Jobs -> Semaphores' and 'Working with steps -> Dot command reference -> .semget & .semput' sections. You could write a feature work item at http://jazz.net/jazz08/web/projects/Rational%20Build%20Forge#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem to add a permission.

Yeah, I read the documentation and didn't see a way to do it. Was hoping it was tied in with something else I was missing. Thanks!
