After you install and start the Configuration
Management application,
you can complete administrative tasks such as creating project areas
that control access to configurations.
Before you begin
The
Configuration
Management application
must be installed.
Only one instance of the
application can be registered with the Jazz™ Team Server. The
version of the Configuration
Management application
must match the highest version of the lifecycle management products
on the Jazz Team Server that
use the Configuration
Management application
for configuration management. To upgrade the Configuration
Management application,
see the documentation for upgrading the lifecycle management product.
To
see which versions are registered with the Jazz Team Server:
on the product banner, click the Administration icon
(
), and then click .
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 by setting permissions and completing
operations in the project areas 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 Operation
section, expand
Configuration Management.
For
information about project areas for a specific lifecycle management
project, see the online help for that product.
