Error description

• In UCM Mastership, delivering from one stream to a target stream
  mastered in a different replica
   starts a 'posted' delivery which transfers mastership of the
  source stream to the same replica
   that masters the target stream.
  In Clearase 8.0 with Feature Level 7 this mastership change gets
  blocked for all but
    * stream owner (source stream)
    * VOB owner    (UCM project VOB)
    * ClearCase Admin / root
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Site1 has ClearCase 7.1.2 with users vobadm01 and user01,
  both of which have ccusers01 as their primary group
  
  2. Site2 has ClearCase 7.1.2 with users vobadm02 and user02,
  both of which have ccusers02 as their primary group
  
  3. At Site1:
     a. vobadm01 creates a Project VOB, a multi-component VOB with
  component Comp01 in it, UCM Project Project01 and integration
  stream Project01_Int
     b. vobadm01 creates replica creation projects for both vobs
  and ships them to Site2
  
  4. At Site2:
     a. vobadm02 imports the replica creation packets to create
  the Project VOB and Component VOB replicas
     b. vobadm02 creates Dev stream Project01_Dev
     c. user02 add files to source control and later modifies them
  using a view attached to Project01_Dev
     d. user02 initiates a posted deliver: cleartool deliver
  -stream stream:Project01_Dev@\PVOB -target
  stream:Project01_Int@\PVOB
     e. vobadm02 generates and sends sync packets to Site1
  
  5. At Site1:
     a. vobadm01 imports the sync packets
     b. the posted deliver is completed
     c. vobadm01 generates and send sync packets back to Site2 (to
  inform them the posted deliver is completed and changed
  mastership of stream back to PVOB replica at site2)
  
  6. vobadm01 changes mastership of the Site2 replicas to
  themselves to they're self-mastering; generates and sends sync
  packets to Site2; vobadm02 imports the sync packets at Site2.
  
  7.  At both sites:
     a. reformat both VOBs to raise their schema levels to 80
     b. raise the feature levels of all replicas to 7
     c. Generate and send sync packets to the other site
     d. Import the packets sent (now all replica are seen as being
  at FL7 from both sites)
  
  8. At Site1, raise the vob family feature level of both VOBs to
  7; generate and send sync packets to Site2; and and Site2,
  import the sync packets
  
  9. At Site2:
     a. user2 further modifies the existing files using the same
  view and stream (but using new activities)
     b. user2 initiates a posted deliver: cleartool deliver
  -stream stream:Project01_Dev@\PVOB -target
  stream:Project01_Int@\PVOB
  Error message:
  Changes will be POSTED to default target stream in project
  'Projec01':
            FROM: stream 'Project01_Dev'
            TO: stream 'Project01_Int'
  Activities included in this operation:
          activity:mod_f2_01@\PVOB        user02  'mod_f2_01'
          activity:mod_f1_02@\PVOB        user02  'mod_f1_02'
  Do you wish to continue with this deliver operation?  [no] y
  cleartool: Error: No permission to perform operation 'change
  master'.
  cleartool: Error: Must be one of: object owner, VOB owner,
  member of ClearCase group
  cleartool: Error: Unable to post stream 'Project01_Dev' to the
  target stream's replica.
  
  Workaround:
  Delegate the deliver operation to the owner of the UCM Project
  VOB.
