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.
