Member Related Permissions
Member related permissions in the mks:si ACL define and restrict the ways users can interact with configuration management members. Member related permissions are useful when you need to restrict user access to certain key files within a project. For example, you may want to restrict access to the make file of your development project or the index file of your Web site.
Using member related permissions, you could specify that only the buildmaster could access the make file, and only the Webmaster could access the index file.
Multiple permissions may be required to carry out a configuration management task. For example, renaming a member not only requires Login and Open Project, but it also requires AddMember, DropMember, and FetchRevision.
