Configuring repository security

Note: You may not have access to this admin command.

You can apply security at the repository level, overriding the server security. Security can be modified for any group for the selected repository. For example, you have multiple products and development teams. Configuring repository security lets you restrict each development team to specific repositories.

  1. Select the repository and choose Activities > Properties.
  2. The Properties dialog box opens.

  3. Click the Security tab to configure repository security.
  4. The text at the top of the tab provides information about the repository and the affect that setting security has on other branches. For example, when you set security for a specific branch in a repository, the following text appears at the top of the tab: This repository is using security that applies only to this branch and child branches that have selected to inherit it.

  5. Click Modify to change the security.
  6. To override security permissions, select a group and click Override.
  7. To add a security group, click Add.
  8. Select Force all child repositories to inherit these security permissions to apply security to the selected repository and all child repositories.
  9. Select this option to use these permissions and remove security for all child repositories. You are prompted to confirm this action.

  10. Click OK to save any changes.
