APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, users are able to create view private files with the read-only bit set. The user who created the view private file can remove the read-only bit. If a user leaves the company or is gone for an extended period of time, it is expected that a user who is a member of the ClearCase server process group should be able to remove the read-only bit so the file can be modified or deleted. When trying to do this as a local admin on the system as well as a member of the ClearCase group, you will get the following error: Z:\vob\dir1?attrib ro_test.txt R Z:\vob\dir1\ro_test.txt Z:\vob\dir1?attrib -r ro_sue_test.txt Access denied - Z:\vob\dir1\ro_sue_test.txt
