User access permissions

Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager security is based on predefined actions that correspond to product capabilities, such as creating a branch or deleting a link. These actions can then be assigned to a role, meaning a person with that role can perform those permitted actions. This is currently done at the Team Configuration level (as opposed to Project Configuration).

Setting permissions is done using Manage This Project Area > Permissions. Under Team Configuration, choose a role, then check the desired actions under Engineering Management.

Default user roles

By default there are three roles - additional roles can be created by the administrator. Roles are defined using Manage This Project Area > Roles. Role assignment for project area members is done using Manage This Project Area > Overview
