The security policy is used to hide records from certain groups
of users.
About this task
Only users who are members of groups listed in the SecurityPolicy
record have visibility to records which are protected by the SecurityPolicy.
The ALM schema uses the SecurityPolicy to protect ALMCategory, ALMProject,
ALMPhase, ALMIteration, ALMRole, ALMComment, ALMRequest, ALMTask, ALMActivity,
BTBuild and ALMWorkConfiguration record types.
Only users listed as a member
in the ALMAdmin record can create a SecurityPolicy record. Only a user who
is also has the SecurityAdministrator privilege can set the Context Groups
field of the SecurityPolicy, which is necessary for indicating which groups
are allowed to have visibility to records which are protected by the SecurityPolicy.
Note: By
default, the Everyone SecurityPolicy is added to BTBuild records that
are created, so users that are not using ClearQuest® ALM can still see BTBuild
records they may be working with.
