Managing Privileges Using Rules

Only the PTF administrator can configure permissions on test folders using the Test Folder Permissions Manager. While granting permissions on folders the PTF administrator needs to keep the following rules in mind:

• Test Folder Permission Manager is only available for PTF administrator role.

• Users with same PTF roles have the same privileges for specific test folders.

• Each PTF role may have different privileges on a test folder.

• PTF administrator can configure privileges on My Folder like any other folder in PTF.

  Note:

  Sub folders, tests, and test cases under My Folder inherits the permissions configured on the parent folder.

• Privileges on a folder are merged for an user who has multiple PTF roles. The role with higher permissions take precedence.

• Test folder permission management does not have any impact on the below scenarios:

  • Updating Step Information after the run completes.

  • Testing PeopleTools upgrade.
