In the ClearQuest® API,
the following objects are available for designing and implementing
workspace folder security :
- The Permission object represents a permission setting for a workspace
folder.
- The Permissions object represents a collection of Permission objects.
When all Permission objects in a Permissions collection apply to the
same object, the collection is also known as an access control list
(ACL). For information on the permission kinds, see Permissions Object.
- The Folder object represents a workspace folder and facilitates
permission and traversal operations.
- Folders object represents a collection of Folder objects.
- The Workspace object returns information about the workspace items
that are visible to the current user, based on the current ACLs.
A folder permission can be assigned, or granted, to a ClearQuest user group. You can create,
read, update, and delete folder permissions from workspace folders.
The set of permissions specified for a single folder is the access
control list (ACL) for the folder. For more information, see PermissionKind constants.
