Project and Folder security

The main security settings in Team Coherence are on Projects and Folders. Modifying security settings at the Project level applies these settings to all sub-folders. Similarly modifying security settings at the Folder level applies these settings to the Folder and its sub folders.

To define security settings for an entire Project, including its sub folders, select the project in Version Manager and select Action/Properties… to display the Project Properties dialog box:

If the options in this page are grayed out, including the checkbox, you don't have Access privileges for this Project.

Access – users granted Access rights to a project are allowed to define access rights in the fields of this dialog for this project only.

Modify – users granted Modify rights to a project are allowed to modify the Name and default working path of this project and its sub folders.

Check In/Out – users granted Check In/Out access are allowed to check in and out any files in this project or its sub folders.

View - only users granted View access can access this project in any way. The access they are granted depends on the settings above.

When you press the OK button, these settings will be applied to all sub folders in this project.

To override the Project settings, you can define access levels for individual folders. Access to Folder security settings is via the Properties dialog for the folder. To access this dialog, select the folder in Version Manager and select Action/Properties… from the main menu:

If the options in this page are grayed out, you don't have Access privileges for this folder.

Access – users granted Access rights to a project are allowed to define access rights in the fields of this dialog for this folder and its sub folders*.

Modify Folders – users granted Modify Folder rights to a folder are allowed to modify the name and default working path of this folder and its sub folders*.

Check In/Out – users granted Check In/Out rights are allowed to check in and out any files in this folder or its sub folders*.

Other users are only allowed Get access to this folder.

* If you check the Apply changes to security settings to all subfolders checkbox (default), all security settings will be applied to subfolders of this folder. If it is not checked, the changes only apply to this folder.

When you press the OK button, these settings will be applied.
