DESCRIPTION
In general, only commands that modify (write to) a VOB or a project VOB are subjected to identity checking. The following hierarchy of identity checking is used, in a command-specific manner, to determine whether a command can proceed or be canceled:
- All products on UNIX only—root
- All products except ClearCase LT on Windows only—Member of the ClearCase administrators group
- ClearCase LT
on Windows only—Local administrator of the ClearCase LT server
host
Note: We strongly recommend that you do not make ordinary ClearCase users members of the ClearCase administrators group or allow ClearCase LT users to log on as the local administrator at the ClearCase LT server host.
- VOB owner
- Owner of the relevant element (for modifications to branches and versions)
- Owner of the relevant type object (for modifications to objects of that type)
- Creator of a version or derived object
- Owner of the object (pool, hyperlink, replica, activity, checkpoint, domain, role, state, user)
- User associated with an event
- Members of an object's group (same group ID)
Both file system and non-file-system objects have an owner and a group; this information is stored with the object. When an object is created, its owner and group are set to that of the user who created it. Use the protect command to change the owner (–chown) or group (–chgrp) of the object. The describe command displays the owner and group of the object.
The scheduler maintains its own access control list (ACL), which determines who is allowed access to the scheduler and to the ACL itself. See the schedule reference page for more information.
The reference page for a command lists the special identities (if any) required to use the command along with other restrictions on its use.
The sections below list all cleartool subcommands, categorized by their identity requirements. For information about identity checking for ClearCase and ClearCase LT commands (that is, other than cleartool subcommands), see the corresponding reference pages.
None
one of: element group member, element owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host; (for commands that operate on objects) object group member, object owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
one of: version creator, element owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
one of: element owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
one of: user associated with event, object owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
chevent
one of: branch creator, element owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
one of: type owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group, local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host
one of: DO group member, DO owner, VOB owner, root, member of the ClearCase administrators group
rmdo
Note: Only the VOB owner and root, members of the ClearCase administrators group can delete a shared derived object.
