[p4] Best way to determine if user has read access to file...

Wed May 14 07:05:50 PDT 2008

I could do but as I say, I will need to p4 login as the user in
question, which I am trying to avoid. if that's the only way then fine,
but I'm surprised if I can't do this with p4 protects. That's the only
command the admin interface in 7.2 appears to use.

cheers, jamie

	Did you try using fstat to check on that file with the
restricted user?

		       Use the relatively new P4V admin interface.

		               Afternoon,

		               What's the best way to determine if a
user has read
		access to a file,
		               short of logging in as them and doing
fstat or whatever.

		               Let's say my protections are set up like
this:

		                       write user echlinj *
//depot/Jamgraph/...
		                       write user echlinj *
		-//depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/...

		               So I have no read/write access to stuff
under REL1.0. I
		was hoping this
		               would work:

		                       p4 -u p4admin protects -m -u
echlinj

		               //depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/src/gparticle.cpp
		               write

		               However I don't have write access to that
file.

		               Without -m I get:

		               write user echlinj * //depot/Jamgraph/...
		               write user echlinj *
-//depot/Jamgraph/REL1.0/...

		               I don't really want to parse that to work
out which line
		best matches
		               the file in question. There must be a
better way.

		               Cheers,
