Administrative Tasks

A software development process is a structure (lifecycle) imposed on the development of a software product. The lifecycle that your site uses determines the tasks or activities that take place during the software development process to control changes that are made to software throughout the lifecycle.

The administrator sets up the lifecycle and must perform some tasks before users can access and use CA Harvest SCM to manage their changes. Such tasks include setting up user groups, defining the lifecycle that you want to use, setting up the repository, and setting access permissions. Administrators use the Administrator application to perform these tasks and later to administer and maintain the software development process.
