[p4] p4web, does it filter on client spec?

[Michael Delaney]

No, I don't believe it does. If you want to restrict access to locations 
in Perforce for p4web the only way is via the protections table.

For example. The following only allows the p4web instance, running on 
10.9.1.5(replace with the IP address that's running p4web) as the user 
'perforce', access to the main trunk, our documentation, and user sandboxes.

[protect examples]
     read user perforce 10.9.1.5 -//...
     read user perforce 10.9.1.5 //depot/trunk/...
     read user perforce 10.9.1.5 //depot/docs/...
     read user perforce 10.9.1.5 //sandboxes/...
