Rights By Project Command (Tools Menu)

See Also

Displays and changes access rights for selected users in selected projects.

Remarks

Default user access rights are assigned to each new user under default security or on the Project Security tab in the SourceSafe Options dialog box on the Tools menu.

This command shows the effect of rights propagation in the Project Rights dialog box. For example, if a user has the Destroy access right in the root project, then under Projects, you see that the user has the Destroy access right in all subprojects unless you explicitly change the access rights. Explicit changes are displayed in the Rights Assignments for Users dialog box, available from the Tools menu.

Note   To use the Rights by Project command, you must first select the Enable Project Security check box on the Project Security tab in the Visual SourceSafe Options dialog box on the Tools menu.
