ACL An Access Control List (ACL) is a collection of entries that permits or
limits entry to the functionality of a software program or server. The Access
Control List allows the administrator to manage user access by requiring
authentication of the user’s identity or membership in a predefined group.
Access is then granted according to the assigned permissions. See
principals, permissions.
administrator The administrator installs Source Integrity; defines and
customizes projects and policies; and creates and manages user accounts,
allowing users to access the program.
annotated revision Source Integrity provides an annotated revision view
for member revisions. Use it when you want to investigate the reason and
circumstances a revision was introduced or changed. Rather than searching
the content of revisions in the history one revision at a time, you can see the
content and information for all of the revisions in an annotated list.
archive description The archive description contains text that describes
the purpose of an archive. Each time you create an archive, you can assign
to it a description.
archive information Just as it maintains information about each project
member, Source Integrity also maintains historical information about each
member archive called archive information. This information, includes
revision labels, users who have locks on revisions in the archive, the starting
point of the default branch revision, the data type (text or binary), whether
the archive is compressed, whether strict-locking applies to the archive, and
a description of the archive.
archive An archive is a file containing the history of a member (a record
of all the changes made to it since it was put under revision control). From
the information contained in the history, Source Integrity can reconstruct
any previous version of the member. The archive is sometimes referred to
as the RCS file, for historical reasons.
author name The author name is the name you associate with revisions
upon check in. By default, your author name is your user name.
