Learn how to develop software with HCL VersionVault and HCL VersionVault Remote Client.
Developing software with HCL VersionVault Explorer
HCL VersionVault 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 VersionVault
HCL VersionVault provides configuration management services that make it easy for development teams to work with resources in a shared repository. With the HCL VersionVault Explorer, developers can access HCL VersionVault from a variety of network connections, including broadband (WAN) and traditional local area networks (LANs).
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.
Element protection
The ability to protect directory and file elements with ACLs greatly simplifies authorization administration. The simplification uses multiple groups in element effective ACLs in place of multiple groups in each user's credentials.
Elements and ownership
Each element in a VOB is assigned an owner (recorded as a numerical-form user identifier) and a group (recorded as a numerical-form group identifier).

Elements and ownership

Each element in a VOB is assigned an owner (recorded as a numerical-form user identifier) and a group (recorded as a numerical-form group identifier).

The owner can be any user known to the VOB server's operating system. The group must be one of the VOB's groups: either the VOB's primary group or one of its additional groups.

Because a VOB is managed by a process using the identity of the VOB owner and all the VOB groups, a VOB is limited in the number of additional groups—the limits of 16 (Linux) or 32 (Windows) groups apply to the additional groups list.
