[p4] Admin rights

[Michael Delaney]

My understanding is this, as it related to directory
//sandbox/groups/tds/...


group a; pseudo admins; should be able to delete, create/integrate,
merge, edit

group b; normal users; should only be allowed to edit, their ability to
delete, create/integrate merge should be denied

 

Using the protections table, you can remove their ability to branch,
with =branch, but edit & delete are the same permission category (and I
wasn't able to find a way to remove the delete cation) so in order to
edit, you are granting them the right to delete the file.

 

According to
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.081/manuals/p4sag/04_protect.html#1
016808

I am a bit unclear on whether the actions listed as:

*	Deletion of files
*	Creation/Integration of branches
*	Merging branches

are ones which the user should be able to do or is excluded from doing.
I read the email as those were the activities that you want this user to
have rights to.  My answer was based on that.

I am not aware of a way to allow for edits but restrict deleting,
branching and integrations. Perhaps a trigger could act as a watch
against these actions but I am not sure how it would be implemented.

Something like "write user carol.hall * //sandbox/groups/tds/..." should
work.  Use the p4 protect command or P4V's admin feature.
