Controlling Object Access › Object Access

Object Access

You can set varying access permissions for every CA Harvest SCM object. Access information is comprised of two parts:

• Method—Action that can be taken
• User group—Who can perform the action

You can secure some objects through access control: SCM, projects, states, processes, repositories, item paths, items, and form types. Other objects are secured through an object to which they belong. For example, views, packages, and package groups are all secured through the project or state to which they belong.

You use the object properties dialog to grant access to one or more user groups. The access allows members of the groups to perform a particular type of action (method) on the object, for example:

• At the highest level, access granted to the group Repository Manager allows members to administer repositories.
• At the process level, access granted to the Developer group Developer allows members to check in and check out files.
