Allow the readonly access in a VOB for all users regardless of the ownership property

Allow the readonly access in a VOB for all users regardless of the ownership property of the user and the VOB.

Solution

  • You can check the technote "About read-only views":

    In ClearCase 4.x and later the cleartool chview command is available to change the properties of a view.
    The command offers both the -readonly and -readwrite (the default) options to switch the access mode to the view private storage. You must be the view owner or the root user on the view_server host to use chview.

    cleartool lsview -prop -full dynamic_view
