Setting read access permissions

Owners and administrators can change the read access permissions for streams, repository workspaces, components, and files and folders. If a component or stream is owned by a team or project area, the process area permissions determine who can set read access permissions.

1. Optional: To set read access on a stream or repository workspace:
   1. In the Team Artifacts view, right-click a stream or repository workspace; then, click Open.
      Tip: You can also open the editor from other locations, such as the Pending Changes or Search view.
   2. In the editor, click the Change... button to the right of the visibility label.
   3. In the Select Read Access Permission window, select the permission level and click OK.
   4. In the editor, click Save.
      Note: To restrict read access of a stream to a team area, the team area must be the owner of the stream.
