Appendix I. Authority and noti®cation for TeamConnection actions

TeamConnection ships with IBM-supplied authority groups, interest groups, component processes, and release processes. Your family administrator can modify these precon®gured authority groups, interest groups, and processes to ®t the needs of your organization.

Each authority group consists of actions normally performed by a particular type of user. Your family administrator can modify these groups or create new ones to re¯ect the needs of your organization.

Authority groups provide explicit authority to perform the actions included in each group. You might also have implicit authority to perform certain actions according to the objects that you own. Authority groups are de®ned in a ®le called authorit.ld.

To determine your authority groups, from the Actions pull-down menu, select Lists Access lists Show authority actions. On the Show authority actions window select an action.

Each noti®cation group consists of actions normally of interest to a particular type of user. Your family administrator can modify these groups or create new ones to re¯ect the needs of your organization. Interest groups are de®ned in a ®le called interest.ld.

To determine your interest noti®cation groups, from the Actions pull-down menu, select Lists Noti®cation listsShow interest actions. On the Show authority actions window select an action.

The following table lists all of the TeamConnection actions, the required level of implicit and explicit authority to perform the action, and the users who are noti®ed when an action is performed. To explicitly assign authority to a user, add the user's ID to a component's access list.

Note: The user who performs the action is excluded from the noti®cation that is sent out after the action is successfully completed.
