  73                               <p>A question was asked about what causes users to be considered Clearcase admins:</p>
  74
  75 <p>From <a
  76  href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21143292">About
  77 ClearCase permissions on Windows</a>:<br>
  78 <blockquote><b>ClearCase Administrative Access</b><br>
  79   <br>
  80 Privileged users in ClearCase have rights to create, modify, and delete
  81 any ClearCase object. Access to these permissions should be restricted
  82 to ClearCase Administrators and the ClearCase Process Account (Atria
  83 Location Broker Service - ALBD). Access is controlled by membership in
  84 the ClearCase Administrators group.<br>
  85   <br>
  86 This group which is designated during the setup and installation of
  87 ClearCase is referred to as the ClearCase privileged group. By default,
  88 this group is called <i>clearcase</i>. Some defining characteristics
  89 of the ClearCase (or privileged) group are:<br>
  90   <ul>
  91     <li type="disc"><b>The account under which whose identity Atria
  92 Location Broker Daemon (ALBD) runs has to be a member of this group,
  93 such as </b><b><i>clearcase_albd</i></b><b>.</b><br>
  94     </li>
  95     <li type="disc">This group has Full Control of the view and VOB
  96 storage directories.<br>
  97     </li>
  98     <li type="disc">Members of this group are considered ClearCase
  99 Administrators.</li>
 100   </ul>
 101   <br>
 102   <b>Note</b>: The ClearCase privileged group must never be used as the
 103 primary group on a VOB or set as a primary group for ClearCase access.<br>
 104
 105 </blockquote>
 106 And from <a
 107  href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/1111.html">ClearCase
 108 administration: The first ten things</a>:<br>
 109 <blockquote>The ClearCase administrator is the most powerful user
 110 having full control of a site installation. On Unix, this would be the
 111 superuser, UID=0, on the VOB server. On Windows, it is any user who is
 112 a member of the <i>clearcase</i> domain group.<br>
 113 </blockquote>
 114 proving, once again, that root is everything on Unix!<br>
