Setting Access Rights

Select the object or item in the client for which rights will be set:

To set project access rights, the project must be open to any view.
To set view access rights, the view must be open.
To set folder access rights, select the folder from the folder hierarchy in the left pane.
To set component access rights for public filters or queries, (for example, the change request component) bring the component tab into focus in the upper pane.
To set individual file, change request, requirement, topic, or task item access rights, select the item from the upper pane.

Select Access Rights from the appropriate menu or context menu as follows:

To set project-level access rights, select Project > Access Rights .
To set view-level access rights, select View > Access Rights .
To set folder-level access rights, right-click the folder on the Folder tab and choose Advanced > Access Rights .
To set component-level access rights for public filters and queries, select the component type, (for example the Change Request menu) <Component Type> > Advanced > Component Access Rights .
To set item-level access rights, select the item from the upper pane, and select <Component Type> > Advanced > Item Access Rights .

Click Add. The Assign Access Rights To dialog box opens.

Select a user or group. Users are listed by their user names and groups are listed by their paths (excluding the All Users group).

Select Grant and click OK.

CAUTION:

Never select Deny unless you are creating an exception. Deny records must be created before grant records.

Select/clear the appropriate check boxes. Selecting or clearing the check box for a category, such as Generic object rights for a project, selects or clears all the access right check boxes for that category. The category check box has only two states. When it is cleared, the access right check boxes for that category are either all cleared or mixed: some selected and some cleared.

CAUTION:

Clicking Delete removes the selected user or group from the User and Groups list in the Access Rights dialog box. The selected user or group loses any previously set access rights to the Server.

Click OK.
