Error description
In IBM Rational ClearCase 8.0.1, a user that does not have read access to the VOB root directory element will not have access to metadata about checkouts in that VOB. Setting to a view and running 'cleartool lsco -cview -avobs' will result in the following error for any VOBs where the user does not have access: lsco: cleartool: Error: Unable to determine view for '?vob tag?': Permission denied The 'unable to determine view' error message here is unclear; it should simply inform the user that permission to access to a given VOB is denied. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a VOB and view owned by user A in group A 2. Set to that view as user B who is not in group A 3. Run 'cleartool lsco -cview -avobs' Workarounds: Run lsco as a user with read access to the VOB root directory, or use the CLEARCASE_AVOBS variable to restrict the lsco command to access only VOBs to which you have the appropriate permissions.
