On Windows platforms, VOBs and views that are accessed over the
network must be created in a folder that is shared. Windows share permissions
control access to shared folders, and must be configured to provide adequate
rights to users of VOBs and views.
Share permissions affect only network access to shared resources. They
have no effect on operations initiated locally. Default permissions for new
shares vary by Windows version, so you should review them after you create
the share and modify them if necessary. Note that the Storage Location Wizard
and the mkstgloc command create shared folders that have
the default permissions for the platform on which the storage location is
created. You should review and modify the permissions on these shares after
the storage location has been created, but before it is put into use.
In general, Change permissions are adequate for users who access but do
not need to create VOBs or views. Full Control is required only for members
of the
Rational® ClearCase® administrators
group and any other groups that need to create VOBs or views on the share.
- VOB storage share permissions control access to pools. As shown in Table 1, anyone who needs to add
an artifact to source control, create a new version of an element, or check
out an existing version of an element must have permission to add or change
files and directories in the share. In addition, the Rational ClearCase administrators
group and any other groups that need to create VOBs on the share must have
Full Control of the share.

- View storage share permissions control network access to view-private
storage (the view's .s directory). As shown in Table 2, anyone who needs
to create a new version of an element, create a derived object, or check out
an existing version of an element must have permission to add or change files
and directories in the share. In addition, the Rational ClearCase administrators
group and any other groups that need to create views on the share (typically
the Rational ClearCase users
group) must have Full Control of the share.
