Users must be added as members to at least one workspace.
Before you begin
Important: To add members to a workspace in IBM® Rational® Focal Point™, you must either be a workspace
administrator, or have the Members workspace permission.
You
must also be a workspace administrator to set anything besides the
default value for the Access attribute. Users that have the Members
permission must be able to access a display view to see the newly
added member. When you create a member, you can edit the attributes
that are editable in the display view.
To add members to a workspace:
Procedure
- On the navigation bar, click . The Members frame
is displayed.
- Click Add Member.
- Search for the user by entering the name in User
contain or User does not contain.
- Select the user to add as member in the workspace.
- Click Next.
- In the next frame, select if you want to copy or inherit My
Views, My Home and Permissions from
other members:
- -: To add the user without access to any
views.
- Copy: To add the user and copy the My
Views, My Home and Permissions attributes from an existing workspace
member or the specified folder.
- Inherit: To add the user and inherit the
My Views, My Home and Permissions attributes from a folder or an existing
workspace member. When you select inherit, the new workspace member
gains access to all views and home page contents of the selected member.
The views and home page of the inheriting member are also updated
when they are modified for the member it inherits from.
- Select the folder in Members where
you want to add the members.
- Click Finish. The
users are added as workspace members.
Results
You can inherit from any member, as long as you do not create
a circular inheritance. In this case, the member is still added to
the workspace, but you need to manually edit
Inherit From later
if you want the member to inherit from someone else.
You can also
inherit from a parent folder. When you select Parent Folder for
a new member, the member gains the same access as the selected parent
folder.
Remember: My Views and My Home are inherited
in several steps. This means that you inherit another member's views,
home page, inherited views, and My Home.
