Permission granting model

The model used in implementing workspace folder permissions in IBM Rational® ClearQuest® is based on granting a permission value rather than a model which can either grant or deny a permission. In order to deny access to a folder, the No-Access permission is granted to a group for the folder. The basic default level of permission set on Public Queries folders is for Read-Only access only. This permission applies to the Everyone group, to which every user of a ClearQuest installation belongs. For most users, this is sufficient; it allows them to see and execute any query, but not to change or delete it. It also precludes the ability to add new queries to a public folder.

For users who need the ability to add objects such as new queries, report formats, or email rules, or modify, rename, or delete existing objects, the Security Administrator or the appropriate Public Folder Administrator can modify the permissions applied to a folder for the user's group.
