VOB and view access control
HCL VersionVault supports a rich set of access controls on versioned objects.
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.
Controlled objects
The following metatypes are directly controlled by rolemaps: VOB object, policy, rolemap, elements (directory and file).

Controlled objects

The following metatypes are directly controlled by rolemaps: VOB object, policy, rolemap, elements (directory and file).

Versions are controlled by the element's rolemap. For example, access to foo.c@@/main/newbranch/3 requires access be granted by the element ACL from foo.c@@'s rolemap.

A controlled object's rolemap is visible with cleartool describe object-selector.
