Administering change and releases by using the Configuration Management application

After you install and start the Configuration Management application, you can complete administrative tasks such as creating project areas that control access to configuration spaces and configurations.

Before you begin

The Configuration Management application must be installed.

You must be logged in to the Jazz™ Team Server with an account that has Jazz Administrator privileges.

About this task

This content applies to version 4.0.3 or later. You can control access to the resources in a configuration space by setting permissions and completing operations in the like-named project area in the Configuration Management application. These project areas are used only to manage configuration management permissions; they do not contain resources, and they are separate from the project areas of other lifecycle management products.
Configuration management permissions include the following operations:
  • Creating or modifying (renaming) configurations
  • Modifying the change sets of other team members
  • Archiving or restoring configurations
  • Merging changes
  • Assigning write permissions to specific team areas
For the complete list of permissions, in the Configuration Management application, on the Permissions page of an active project area, in the Operations section, expand Configuration Management.

For information about project areas for a specific lifecycle management project, see the online help for that product.

Procedure

  1. Open the Jazz Team Server Home page. An example of the URL for this page is https://fully_qualified_host_name:9443/jts/admin.
  2. On the Server Administration page, in the Application Administration section, under Configuration Management (/vvc), click Application.
  3. From the Project Areas menu:
    • To create a project area, click Project Area. The project area is used only by the Configuration Management application. A corresponding configuration space is also created automatically.
