Configuring restricted mode

You must have the Super User privilege to configure restricted mode.

To configure restricted mode:

  1. In the Rational® ClearQuest® Web banner, click Site Administration > Configuration.
  2. On the Security Options tab, fill in the restricted mode configuration fields as described in Table 1.

Settings on the Security Options tab take effect immediately; there is no need to restart the server. However, only subsequent Rational ClearQuest Web application sessions reflect these changes. Existing Web application sessions continue to use the settings that were in effect when the sessions started.

Table 1. Configuration fields for Restricted mode
Field Description
Restrict Site If selected, all users run in restricted mode when accessing the Web site.

If not selected (default setting), all users can access the Web site, subject to the restrictions specified in the remaining options on the page.

Selecting this option overrides any specifications in the Restricted Users and Restricted User Groups options.

Restricted Users Users specified in this field can access the Web site in restricted mode only.
Attention: User names are case sensitive and must match those specified in the User Administration tool.

If no names are specified (default setting), all users can access this site, subject to the settings of the Restrict Site and Restricted User Groups options.

Restricted User Groups Users who are a member of a user group specified in this field can access the Web site only in restricted mode.
Attention: User-group names are case sensitive and must match those specified in the User Administration tool.

If no groups are specified (default setting), all members of all groups can access this site, subject to the settings of the Restrict Site and Restricted Users options.

Restricted Query If a query is specified, users who are running in restricted mode can access this query only, unless Allow Workspace Access When Restricted is also selected. When Allow Workspace Access When Restricted is also selected, the query specified in this field is overwritten.

If no query is specified (default setting), users running in restricted mode have no queries available.

To specify a query, use the path to the query relative to the underlying schema workspace (for example, Public Queries/My Defects).

Allow Find Record When Restricted If selected, users who are running in restricted mode can use the Find Record feature on the toolbar to access records.

If not selected (default setting), users running in restricted mode cannot see the Find Record feature.

Allow Modify Record When Restricted If selected, users who are running in restricted mode can use the Modify button on the toolbar to modify records.

If not selected (default setting), users running in restricted mode cannot see the Modify button.

Allow Workspace Access When Restricted If selected, the Restricted Query option is disabled and users can see the entire workspace. Use this option in conjunction with setting up workspace folder security policies.
Disable Persistent Cookies If selected, storing persistent cookies on client computers is disabled.

Disabling persistent cookies does not remove cookies that are stored on the client computers. These cookies remain until they expire or are removed manually.
