SCLM authorization codes

Authorization codes restrict promotions and draw downs on a member-by-member basis for source code only. An authorization code is a character string that can be up to 8 characters in length and can not contain commas. When you create the project definition, you assign zero or more authorization codes to each group. Each member of every group within an SCLM-controlled project is assigned one authorization code. In order to put a member into a group, the authorization code of that member must match one of the authorization codes that have been assigned to the group. When all the authorization codes are removed from a group, no members can be promoted into or out of that group. When you promote a member from one group to the next, the member retains its authorization code. Therefore, the group being promoted into and the group being promoted from must have a matching authorization code. If, as a result of a promote, an older version of the member was replaced, the authorization code assigned to that older version is not kept.

When you edit a member in a development group, SCLM obtains the authorization code you specified on the edit panel and provides you with the following information:
