Controlling asset download

You can control users' access to assets in the repository and protect the assets from excessive download within a specified period.

About this task

Repository administrators can configure the warning download threshold, download block threshold, maximum time period and administrators' email addresses on the Configuration page. When the number of assets that a user download exceeds the warning download threshold within the maximum time period, the administrators will receive a warning email. When the number of assets that a user download exceeds the download block threshold within the maximum time period, the user will be automatically added to the black list, and the administrators will receive a notification email.

A user who is on the black list cannot log on to the Rational® Asset Manager. If a user is added to the black list while logged in, the user will be logged out immediately.

A user who is on the white list can download assets freely.

Repository administrators can also add users to or remove them from the black or white list.

Note: You can perform asset download control in IBM® Rational Asset Manager web client, RAM API client or Rich client.
