Restricting access to the AXPAttachmentsControl record

You can limit which users can configure the external attachments capability by restricting access to the AXPAttachmentsControl record.

Procedure

  1. In the Rational® ClearQuest® Designer, expand the AXPAttachmentsControl record, which is under the stateless record types.
  2. Expand Fields.
  3. Right-click SecurityContext, and then click Show Properties.
  4. On the Details tab, change the referenced record type to specify the record type you want to use as the security context. Consider using an existing record type, such as ALMSecurityPolicy which is from the ALM package. If you are not using the ALM package, use a record type you already have, otherwise you will need to create a new record type.
  5. Select the Security Context check box to enable security.
  6. Open the AXPAttachmentsControl record. On the Behaviors tab, change the behavior of the SecurityContext field to MANDATORY.
  7. Click File>Save.
  8. Validate and test the schema before you deploy it into a production environment.
