Database users
Each Rational Synergy
database has a list of users. After you unpack a database from base.cpk,
the list contains suggestions of user roles that you might want to
give to users of a database. Each user list needs to contain the team
members who can use the database. First, add user names to the list
of users for each Rational Synergy
database. Then, give each user at least one role to define user capabilities
within a Rational Synergy
database. Before you assign user names, determine whether to use automatic
email notification. To use the automatic email notification feature,
verify that your email tool can recognize the OS user name and deliver
mail to the appropriate address.
Default settings customization
You can customize settings for Rational Synergy options and for database
options. Some of the settings can be modified by users and some can
be modified by the CM administrator only.
Setting up user environments for UNIX
You must set up user environments for UNIX. Include Rational Synergy
in the user path when a user uses a different installation of Rational Synergy or when a
user is new to Rational Synergy.
Setting up remote engine access to the server for UNIX
You can run an engine on one or more remote hosts (instead
of, or in addition to, on the database server). Ensure that the server
has trusted access to and from the engine hosts as ccm_root.
Non-web-mode trusted users configuration
When using this option, users can start a client without
providing a password. However, sessions on UNIX databases must be started using ESD.
Database read security
Use group security to restrict the check-out and modify
permissions to a specified group of users. In addition, read security,
which limits visibility of source to designated groups, can be specified.
Read security is implemented by providing access control to an object
source attribute. Users can query for objects and see other attributes
regardless of any read restrictions. Read security applies to source
objects which can be versioned, and does not apply to directories
and projects.
