This set of scenarios illustrate a variety of possible workspace
folder permission policies.
Scenario 1: Limited access to public queries
The purpose of this scenario is to allow different groups to manage sections of the Public Queries folder without having to grant the Public Folder Administrator privilege to any users.
Scenario 2: basic customer access
This is the most basic scenario where a set of customer users have no access to the Public Queries folder. This might be useful for cases where a customer is given a single user account to be used by all customer users.
Scenario 4: Customer access with a common folder
It is likely that a certain set of queries and charts will be appropriate for all customers that have access to the internal ClearQuest database. It would be convenient to have a common folder that all customers can access, while preserving the isolation of each customer (so they don’t know about any other customers). This folder would contain queries designed to return the list of active issues for the current customer.
Scenario 5: limited internal user visibility to customer folder
In both of the previous scenarios, any user that is not a member of either CustUsers or CustAdmin did not have any permissions that are applicable to them. They would therefore have the default permission to access Public Queries and all of its content, including CustFolder. Those users with the Public Folder Administrator privilege would be able to modify anything in CustFolder.
