 145
 146                               <p>A question was asked about what causes users to be considered Clearcase admins:</p>
 147
 148 <p>From <a
 149  href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21143292">About
 150 ClearCase permissions on Windows</a>:<br>
 151 <blockquote><b>ClearCase Administrative Access</b><br>
 152   <br>
 153 Privileged users in ClearCase have rights to create, modify, and delete
 154 any ClearCase object. Access to these permissions should be restricted
 155 to ClearCase Administrators and the ClearCase Process Account (Atria
 156 Location Broker Service - ALBD). Access is controlled by membership in
 157 the ClearCase Administrators group.<br>
 158   <br>
 159 This group which is designated during the setup and installation of
 160 ClearCase is referred to as the ClearCase privileged group. By default,
 161 this group is called <i>clearcase</i>. Some defining characteristics
 162 of the ClearCase (or privileged) group are:<br>
 163   <ul>
 164     <li type="disc"><b>The account under which whose identity Atria
 165 Location Broker Daemon (ALBD) runs has to be a member of this group,
 166 such as </b><b><i>clearcase_albd</i></b><b>.</b><br>
 167     </li>
 168     <li type="disc">This group has Full Control of the view and VOB
 169 storage directories.<br>
 170     </li>
 171     <li type="disc">Members of this group are considered ClearCase
 172 Administrators.</li>
 173   </ul>
 174   <br>
 175   <b>Note</b>: The ClearCase privileged group must never be used as the
 176 primary group on a VOB or set as a primary group for ClearCase access.<br>
 177
 178 </blockquote>
 179 And from <a
 180  href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/1111.html">ClearCase
 181 administration: The first ten things</a>:<br>
 182 <blockquote>The ClearCase administrator is the most powerful user
 183 having full control of a site installation. On Unix, this would be the
 184 superuser, UID=0, on the VOB server. On Windows, it is any user who is
 185 a member of the <i>clearcase</i> domain group.<br>
 186 </blockquote>
 187 proving, once again, that root is everything on Unix!<br>
 188 <br>
 189 So now you know...</p>
