Need Project Access Help


John Bobinyec (683432) | asked Aug 15 '11, 3:41 p.m.
When a project is created, an access is assigned. I'm confused why there is only one access. I would want to grant "builder" access so that the builders could redefine the project as necessary - and - I would want to grant "developer" access so that the developers could execute the projects when they need to. How do I allow certain people to change the definition of the projects while allowing a different set of people to execute them?

Thanks,
John Bobinyec

look at the example at the bottom of the article
"Deploying the IBM Rational Build Forge Management Console: Getting results and performance" https://jazz.net/library/article/584

It discusses controlling access through groups and using subgroups to inherit permissions of multiple groups.

Good article. I've got the groups separated into those which convey actions and those which convey visibility. I still need a little help. When I run a project as a "build engineer" it completes. When I run it as a "developer", it fails. The statement in the failing log where the failure is, is this one:

AUTH Unable to set user account to permission denied ((none))

The same statement in the succeeding log is:

AUTH Running as: in domain SID Type

The "build engineer" has been set up as a subgroup of the "developer" group.

How can I fix this error? What's missing?

Thanks,

the subgroup inherits permissions from the containing group. so in your use, build engineer is inheriting all the permissions of developer. Build engineer likely has additional permissions assigned to it (it does out of the box at least) that allow it to run the project.

I got it. What needed to happen was I had to change the access in the Server Authentication from Build Engineer to Developer.
