Understanding
Access Control
Lists
Before You Start the Integrity Client
To view project permissions in the graphical user interface
Do one of the following:
From a Project view, select Project > Properties > Project Permissions.
From a Sandbox view, select Sandbox > Properties > Project
Permissions.
The Project Permissions dialog box opens and displays the assigned access
permissions for the selected project.
To view member permissions in the graphical user interface
From a Project or Sandbox view, select Member > Properties > Member
Permissions.
The Member Permissions dialog box opens and displays the assigned
access permissions for the selected member.
If you find you are unable to perform necessary operations, you must
contact the administrator responsible for Source Integrity at your site to
review the permissions assigned to you. For example, if you are unable to
create a new project, it may mean that you have not been assigned the
required permissions for this operation.
IMPORTANT
If your administrator has assigned you a new set of permissions, you must
update your permissions by disconnecting your Source Integrity client and
then reconnecting to the Integrity Server. An out-of-date permission set may
cause unpredictable behavior when attempting to open projects or perform
other tasks. To disconnect from the server, see “Logging Out of Source
Integrity” on page 72.
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. Access
Control Lists (ACLs) store security, configuration, and administrative
information for the Integrity Server and Source Integrity. They work in
conjunction with your network’s authentication system to provide control
over features and functions.
