• restrict the rights granted to everybody in order to grant specific rights to some users.
• restrict the rights of some users (temp workers for example).

Defining the rights on a directory

1. The rights are defined in the SCM administrator. To start the SCM administrator, go to the "SCM" tab, "Repository" group, expand "Manage" and select "SCM administrator".
2. In the SCM administrator, select a directory.
3. Select "Properties" in the context menu of the directory. The directory properties window is displayed.
4. Select the "Rights" tab. By default, all users have all rights.

Defining the rights on a file

1. The rights are defined in the SCM administrator. To start the SCM administrator, go to the "SCM" tab, "Repository" group, expand "Manage" and select "SCM administrator".
2. Select a file.
3. Select "Properties" in the context menu of the file. The file properties window is displayed.
4. Select the "Rights" tab. By default, all users have all rights.

Adding rights for a user or for a group

1. Open the file or directory rights window ("Rights" tab in the properties window).
2. Click "Add".
3. Specify whether the rights must be applied to:
   • a group. The groups are available only if the SCM repository is in Client/Server mode. In this case, the groups correspond to the groups defined in the HFSQL Control Center for the SCM repository.
   • a user. You have the ability to enter any username.
4. Confirm. The user or user group appears in the rights window.
5. Select the user or the group whose rights must be modified.
6. Modify the rights of this user or group in the "Details of rights" section. The available rights are:
   • Full control: All operations are available to the user.
   • Read (L): The user can read the element. These rights allow you to retrieve a version of the element and to check it out for test. If a user has no read rights on a directory, the directory files are invisible. The write rights forces the read rights.
   • Write:
     • Check out and check in: modify (E): Right to check out and check in an element.
     • Add (A): Right to add files, directories, shares and labels, and to create branches.
     • Rename (R): Right to rename a file or a directory.
     • Delete (S): Right to delete files, directories or shares. It also allows replacing one share with another.
     • Delete permanently (X): Right to permanently delete a file or directory.. This right only applies to the last file share.
     • Cancel check-outs by other users (C): Right to undo a check-out performed by another user. Users don't need to be administrators to undo this check-out.
   • Modify rights (M): The user can modify other users' permissions.
7. Click "Apply" to apply the new rights or click "Cancel" to ignore them.

Inheritance of rights

• When rights are applied to a directory, these rights are also applied to all the elements found in the directory.
• When a new directory is created, this directory automatically inherits from the rights of the parent directory.
• By default, a repository is created with full control granted to everyone on the root.
