Administering components
In projects that are enabled for configuration management, as a configuration lead, you complete the tasks that are related to managing components for your project.
Before you begin
- An DOORS® Next project administrator must enable configuration management for the project.
- You must be assigned the Configuration Lead role or have permission to manage components. On the Permissions page in the application administration section, see the Configuration Management group for the permissions related to managing components. Assign permissions based on the tasks that you must complete.
About this task
In addition to the tasks listed below, you can define team areas to control artifact creation and
modification for specific components: see the Save Artifact and
Save Link permission groups on the Permissions page in
the application administration. You might do this to maintain strict control over changes to an
artifact type's definition and the definitions of the artifact's attributes. For example, you might
give Authors specific permissions for Components A, B, and C in a project:
- Authors can create user requirements in Component A
- Authors cannot create system requirements in Component B, but they can modify the public tags and the content of system requirements
- Authors can modify actors in Component C
