New visual interface makes Perforce SCM even easier to administer

Alameda, Calif., March 5, 2007 - Perforce Software today released version 2007.1 of its Fast Software Configuration Management System. Topping the list of new features is the graphical administration tool that allows Perforce administrators to manage permissions for individuals as well as teams of developers. Perforce administrators now have dynamic control over inherited permissions and related dependencies in the repository.
Perforce SCM versions and manages source code and digital assets for enterprises large and small. The administration tool is part of the Perforce Visual Client, P4V, which is the cross-platform graphical user interface available on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD.  "Our enterprise customers have been urging us to add visual administration features to keep pace with the demands of managing large worldwide installations," explained Christopher Seiwald, president and chief technology officer of Perforce Software. "While our 50 to 100-user shops require near-zero administration, our larger customers with 3,000 to 5,000 users wanted a more interactive interface for their system administrators. This is the first step in meeting that need and our customers can expect more visual administrative support in the future."

Administrators can now quickly and easily: 
  • Create or modify users and groups
  • Visually manage permissions for users and groups with drag-and-drop functionality
  • Create new users and groups from administrator-defined templates
  • Monitor license availability

In addition, P4V includes enhanced support for working offline. A new ‘Reconcile Offline Work' feature helps developers to more effectively reconcile modifications to files after working disconnected from the Perforce Server.
