ClearCase Support: Changing File Permissions
I am often asked how to change file permissions on elements in ClearCase, so here are some simple examples on how to do it.
For instance, let's assume you have a ClearCase element with these permissions:
-r-x------ 1 user1 group2 76 Mar 16 02:25 filename.txt
Run this command to change the element's permissions. This is equivalent to UNIX's "chmod" command:
$ cleartool protect -chmod 755 filename.txt
This will result with an element with these permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user1 group2 76 Mar 16 02:25 filename.txt
To recursively change permissions for an entire directory (for this example, the /vob/test directory) and all sub-files and sub-directories in that directory, you can run:
$ cleartool protect -chmod 775 -r /vob/test
Now, let's say you want to change the element's owner and group. This is equivalent to UNIX's "chgrp" and "chown" commands:
$ cleartool protect -chgrp newgroup -chown newuser filename.txt
This will result with an element with these permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 newuser newgroup 76 Mar 16 02:25 filename.txt
