3.3 Access Control for Views and View Objects

Views mediate user access to ClearCase elements and versions. Like VOBs and objects within VOBs, views participate in access control. In a ClearCase LT snapshot view, native file-system permissions on the snapshot view directory tree determine access to files and directories in the snapshot view, including copies of element versions. Creating, deleting, and modifying elements in a snapshot view require the process to have the appropriate permissions for those elements.

NOTE: On UNIX hosts, ClearCase treats view access requests from a remote root user as requests from the user nobody.nobody. See Restricted Privileges for Remote root for details.
