Setting Component-Level Access Rights

If you have the server-level access right to Administer component-level access rights, you can set component-level access rights from any open component.

  1. Open any project view to which you have access.
  2. Select the correct tab (file, change request, and so on) for the component.
  3. Select <Component Type> > Advanced > Component access rights from the main menu. The <Component Type> Component Access Rights dialog box opens.
  4. Select an appropriate node:
    • To control who can create public filters and queries for the component, use the Component node.
    • To control who can use public filters for the component, use the Filter node.
    • To control who can use public queries for the component, use the Query node.
  5. Click Add. The Assign Access Rights To dialog box opens.
  6. Select a user or group. Users are listed by their user names and groups are listed by their paths (excluding the All Users group).
  7. Select Grant and click OK.
    CAUTION:
    Never select Deny unless you are creating an exception. Deny records must be created before grant records.
  8. Click OK.
    CAUTION:
    Never select Deny in the Assign Access Rights to dialog box unless you are creating an exception.
  9. Select/clear the appropriate check boxes. Selecting or clearing the check box for a category, such as Generic object rights for a project, selects or clears all the access right check boxes for that category. The category check box has only two states. When it is cleared, the access right check boxes for that category are either all cleared or mixed: some selected and some cleared.
    CAUTION:
    Clicking Delete removes the selected user or group from the User and Groups list in the Access Rights dialog box. The selected user or group loses any previously set access rights to the Server.
  10. Click OK.
