Handling Item Permission

[esthrim]

Hi, I have a question about file permission,

How to give permission to users, so that specific file / directory can be checked-in by the user but other files/ directory cannot.

is that possible ?

When i do in the branch level, it works for all items in directory tree, but cannot partials for specific items, even though i have set the permission for the file / directory.

Thanks.

To be more clearly

i need some files cannot be ci and co for specific users in a branch level. is this possible ? and how to do it ?

Thanks.

[esthrim]

for example, there are 2 files in the repository.( a.txt, b.txt )

then i set the permission for user x, denied for ci,co, unco operations in the file a.txt permission window in client GUI.

but still the user X still can perform checkin for file a.txt.

why the permissions not working for specific files. ??

today i tried to install the latest version 4.1.10.345, but still no change about this issue.

please, anyone can help..?

Sorry esthrim,

the items permissions in 4.1, although they are visible, are internally disabled.

Please wait to the 4.2 release in order to enjoy the new security system where your case is fully supported and quite easy to implement.

I see.., wow can't wait to get the 4.2 release ., is the release already scheduled ??

Thanks.

Ummm I'm not sure, but soon. Let me ask if I can get a date?

[esthrim]

Great!!, Thanks.

Currently we look for suitable source control for our team,

and with the feature, we think PlasticScm is our solution

[manu]

Don't worry the case is fully supported, if you are interested I can sow you a preview of the new security system and how your scenario is supported.

[esthrim]

Sure, please ?..

thanks.

[manu]

Ok, just tell me your time zone and I'll try to setup a meeting ASAP.

[esthrim]

hmmm..sorry manu, after we discussed. it is not necessary.

we will just continuosly monitoring for the next release,

hope it will released very soon .

Thanks.

[manu]

Ok! no problem!

Hey Manu -

Does this mean that security will be easier to maintain in 4.2? We, also, need to setup some pretty specific permissions and if 4.2 is anywhere on the horizon I'd rather wait... provided the UI makes it much easier.

Is there anything we can read about the upcoming changes?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

it will be much easier! If I were you I would wait to the 4.2 release.

Unfortunately I'm not able to give you a time span.... (marketing issues... you know....)
