Creating user groups and project security

You need to create user groups and assign users to them as follows.
  1. Click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational ClearQuest > ClearQuest User Administration to open the User Administration tool.
  2. Click Group Action > Add Group. Enter Admin in the Name field. In the Users field select admin and user IDs of other users who are permitted to import and delete records. Click Add to add them to the Member Users field.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Repeat the previous step to create a group named ChangeControlBoard. Add the user IDs of users who are permitted to create projects and create and modify records of the following record types that span projects:
    • Category
    • Project
    • ResolutionCode
    • SecurityPolicy
    • Record types whose name includes the suffix Label.
  5. Create groups for SecurityContext as follows:
    • All records that reference a project must reference a SecurityPolicy record.
    • A SecurityPolicy record has a name and a reference to a user group.
    • The SecurityPolicy name is set on the History tab for all records except records supplied by ClearQuest® packages other than the ALM package.
    • The user ID of everyone who needs to see and work on records associated with that record's SecurityPolicy must be included in the user group associated with the SecurityPolicy referenced by that record type (such as ALMCategory, ALMProject, ALMPhase, ALMIteration, ALMRole, ALMComment, ALMRequest, ALMTask, ALMActivity, BTBuild and ALMWorkConfiguration record types).
