Access-control hooks restrict access to particular actions based on a specific set of criteria. In Rational ClearQuest Designer, you can restrict actions to specific groups of users by choosing a hook type of User Group, or you can give everyone access to the action by choosing All Users. You can also choose the Scripts option and write a VBScript or Perl hook to determine access.
The following example shows how to limit access to a user named "Pat."
Function swbug_AccessControl(actionname, actiontype, username) ' actionname As String ' actiontype As Long ' username As String ' swbug_AccessControl As Boolean ' action = close Dim is_ok ' Test whether the current user has the privilege to close this bug If username = "Pat" Then is_ok = TRUE Else is_ok = FALSE End If swbug_AccessControl = is_ok End Function
sub swbug_AccessControl { my($actioname, $actiontype, $username) = @_; my $result; # $actionname string scalar, $actiontype as long scalar # $username as string scalar, # action is Close # return TRUE if the user has permission to perform this action if ($username eq "Pat") { $result = 1; } else { $result = 0; } return $result; }
