Group permissions required for few directories

Hi,

What precisely are you trying to do?

The "cleartool protectvob" command (in this context) is used to either change the owning group for the VOB, or to grant/remove access from additional groups.

Once that's been done however, you potentially still need to change the permissions on (specific) elements, using the "cleartool protect" command.

By way of an example, let's say you've got a VOB and you want to restrict all access to a specific root-level folder (which will include everything below it). To do this ...

• you'd create a new group which is used to grant access to the restricted folder.
• Next you'd run "cleartool protectvob -add_group <new_group> <VOB>".
• Then you'd change the permissions on the folder in question by running "cleartool protect -chgrp <new_group> -chmod 770 <element>"

Users would still need to be in the original group; that would give them access to the VOB as a whole (except the restricted area). Then, any users who are also put in the new group would gain access to the restricted area as well.

That should give you some ideas on whatever you're trying to do. If you need further help it'd be useful to know what precisely are you trying to do, and why?
