[p4] Protections Table Help

[Robert Cowham]

The following works for me:

Write group all * //depot/...
List group restricted * -//depot/some/path/...
Read group restricted * //depot/some/path/...

So take away rights and then give back lesser ones.


C:\bruno_ws\main\www\perforce\press>p4 groups laura
all
restricted

C:\bruno_ws\main\www\perforce\press>p4 groups carrie
All

Protections:
        write group all * //depot/...
        read group restricted * -//depot/main/www/...
        read group restricted * //depot/main/www/...

C:\bruno_ws\main\www\perforce\press>p4 -u laura edit pr1.html
pr1.html - no permission for operation on file(s).

C:\bruno_ws\main\www\perforce\press>p4 -u laura edit //depot/main/jam/jam.c
//depot/main/jam/jam.c#35 - opened for edit

C:\bruno_ws\main\www\perforce\press>p4 -u carrie edit pr1.html
//depot/main/www/perforce/press/pr1.html#3 - opened for edit
