Learn how to develop software with DevOps Code ClearCase® and ClearCase Remote Client.
Developing software with ClearTeam® Explorer
DevOps Code ClearCase® provides two clients for software developers: local and remote. Each client supports different mechanisms for accessing source-controlled filesystem objects. Both clients provide graphical and command-line interfaces.
Team software development with ClearCase®
DevOps Code ClearCase® provides configuration management services that make it easy for development teams to work with resources in a shared repository. With the ClearTeam® Explorer, developers can access DevOps Code ClearCase from a variety of network connections, including broadband (WAN) and traditional local area networks (LANs). The ClearTeam Explorer also supports WAN access to Rational® ClearQuest® user databases.
About ACL authorization
If access control list (ACL) authorization is enabled, the identities and protection modes for some object types are administered through policies, which define permissions for roles; and rolemaps, which map the roles to principals.
Effective ACLs
When ClearCase® enforces access controls in a VOB, it uses an effective ACL for each metatype.

Effective ACLs

When ClearCase® enforces access controls in a VOB, it uses an effective ACL for each metatype.

The effective ACL is computed by combining the rolemap and its policy, substituting the role mappings in the rolemap for the role in the policy's access control entries. The net result is an ACL that has no indirect principals and is easy to interpret during an access check.

To view effective ACLs, right-click a VOB, element, policy, or rolemap and select Properties from the context menu, then click the ACLs tab.
