You can control access to Rational® ClearQuest® Web
by restricting the activities that users and user groups can perform.
These activities include:
- Submitting records
- Modifying records
- Finding a specified record
- Running a single query or accessing the workspace
For example, you can enable users to provide feedback through a
password-protected extranet by performing the following steps:
- Create a ClearQuest user
group for customers who will provide beta test feedback.
- Configure
the ClearQuest Web
software so that members of this group can only submit records
and view the results of a single query.
- Distribute the ClearQuest Web URL
to the user group.
When members of the group access the URL, they can only submit
records and view the results of the query that you specify. The records
returned by the query are read-only unless you configure restricted
mode to permit record modifications.
When you log in to ClearQuest Web in
restricted mode, Restricted Mode appears in
the navigation banner at the top of the display. Users are logged
on in restricted mode whenever they cannot obtain a valid Rational ClearQuest Web
license, for example, if all available licenses are in use.
