.. _project-administration: Project Administration ====================== Whenever you enter the Project Dashboard of a given project or any of its service you'll see a menu item called Admin appears in the project menu. Only project members can access the Project Administration page. All other Tuleap users are denied access to this part of a project. Project Administration Menu --------------------------- In addition to the project main menu that was introduced in the description of the Project Dashboard, the Project Administration page has its own menu. This menu is not redundant with the page content right below. Except for 1 or 2 items the menu and the page content give access to distinct parts of the administration space. So pay attention to both the Page Admin menu and the Page Admin content. In the following sections the Location label indicates where to find the corresponding administrative function. Adding/Removing Users --------------------- *Location: Page Admin Content* User administration in Tuleap is easy. Regarding the number of users to need to add, you can use one the two following ways: Add a user `````````` To add a new member to a project team one of the project administrator just has to type the login name of the invited member and click on the "Add User" button. If you don't know the login name of the new project member you want to add, open a new browser window on Tuleap and use the search box in the Tuleap Main Menu to search for the person's real name (first or last name or both) and don't forget to select "People" in the Search pull-down menu. The result list will show you the user real name and login name. Import a list of users `````````````````````` If the number of users to add is important, one of the project team member can import a list of users from a simple text file. In order to do it, just click the link "Import List Of Users". Then, you can browse your local directory to select a file containing the list of users you want to import. The file will host one user per line, by specifying her email address, or her Tuleap username (login name). :: johnd steve.robinson@company.com bob.johnson@company.com smith3 john.smith@company.com The import process has two steps. First, it checks if the file is well formed, and it displays the users detected to be imported. After a confirmation, the import is done and the users are added to the project. The system doesn't perform the import in case of error (unknown user, user not recorded in Tuleap, user not active, unknown email address, etc.) If a user is two times in the file, only one user is added and there is no error. Removing a user ``````````````` Removing a project member is even easier. Just click on the trash icon (|image1|) next to the person's name to revoke his/her membership. Revoking membership has absolutely no effect on the history and the data integrity of the project. In other words all tracker artifacts assigned or submitted by this person will continue to show up as before in the project database. Only the ability of this person to perform project management tasks is affected. Also notice that in order to remove a project administrator from the project member list, another project administrator must first change the "Project Admin" flag of this user to "No" in the User Permission table. In other words, a Project Administrator cannot be removed from the project members as long as she has administrator privilege. **Note** You have probably noticed that project member's name on the Project Administration page are actually hyperlinks. On this page as well as in many other pages throughout Tuleap a click on a login name leads you to the user page where you can know more about the user (including its location, phone/fax number, etc. extracted from the LDAP Directory in real time) and send an e-mail message to this person directly via a Web form. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/sc_projectadminpage.png :align: center :alt: A Sample Project Administration Page :name: A Sample Project Administration Page A Sample Project Administration Page Project Public Information -------------------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* The "Edit Public Info" item of the Project Administration menu allows a project administrator to update the Project Description Elements: these are elements provided during the registration process. Project Categorization ---------------------- *Location: Page Admin Content* This is where you can categorize your project. You can define up to 3 values for each of the 7 criteria used in the Software Map. If you cannot find any matching value in the predefined list do not hesitate to contact the Tuleap Team. .. _project-type: Project Type ------------- *Location: Page Admin Content* Tuleap proposes three types of projects: - **Project**: This is the type of standard projects hosted on Tuleap. - **Template Project**: If you choose this project type new projects can reuse this projects service configuration. When registering a new project (see :ref:`project-registration`) your template project is listed as available template. When choosing your template project then the new project will use exactly the same configuration. This includes that - the new project is classified into the same trove categories as the template project (see :ref:`software-map-(or Project Tree)`). - the same services are enabled (see `Service Configuration`_). Unavailable services won't be present. Disabled services will be disabled by default. - the same reference patterns are defined (see `Reference Pattern Configuration`_). - the same project specific user groups exist (see `User Groups`_). - all trackers with the option "instantiate for new projects" are copied with their associated fields, field values, field dependencies, reports, and permissions (see ?). - the same forums are created (but the messages are not copied). - the documents, as well as the document tree will be present. - the CVS admin settings are copied (preamble, tracking mode, CVS Watch Mode), but the emails and the CVS permissions are not copied. - the SVN admin settings are copied (preamble, tracking mode), but the emails and the SVN access permissions are not copied. - the file packages and their permissions are copied - **Test Project**: If you just need to test what is feasible with Tuleap projects use the Test Project type for your project. Having defined that type, your project will not appear any more in the Tuleap Software Map nor on the Tuleap Dashboard. .. _service-configuration: Service Configuration --------------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* The "Service Configuration" item of the Project Administration menu lists all services available to the project. Services are items listed in the "Service Bar " on top of each page: trackers, CVS, homepage, documentation, etc. The Service Configuration page allows a project administrator to update, enable, disable or even create services. There are two kinds of services: - **System services**: these services are defined by the site administrator and are common to all projects. They cannot be modified, except for their status (enabled/disabled) and their position on the screen (see below). - **Project services**: these services can be fully customized or deleted by the project administrator. There is one exception, the **Home Page** service is a system service but it can be customized with any URL. Each project hosted on Tuleap has its own virtual Web server available on the Tuleap site. By default the "Home Page" in the Project Service Bar links to this location (see :ref:`project-web-site` for more details). If you want the Home Page of your project to link to some other locations on the Intranet or on the Web, simply replace the default value with your own Web location. Do not confuse your Project Home Page with your Project Dashboard. The Project Home Page actually points to real Web Site whereas the Project Dashboard page is just an entry point to monitor a project progress. Creating or Updating a Service `````````````````````````````` When creating or updating a service, one has to fill the following fields: **Service Label**: This is the label that will be displayed in the Service Bar. It should be as concise as possible. **Service Link**: This is the URL of the service, i.e. the address the user will be redirected to when clicking on the service label in the Service Bar. It will be loaded in the current window. A few keywords can be inserted into the link: they will be automatically replaced by their value: - **$projectname**: short name of the project - **$sys\_default\_domain**: domain of your Tuleap server (e.g. "tuleap.example.com") - **$group\_id**: project number. - **$sys\_default\_protocol**: 'https' if your server is configured in secure mode, 'http' otherwise. **Service Description**: Short description of the service. It will be displayed as a tooltip when the mouse cursor is over the service label. **Enabled**: Toggling this check box will simply disable (or enable) the service. Disabling a service just means that it no longer appears in the Service Bar and in the Project Dashboard of your project but all existing data related to this service remains untouched. In other words, re-enabling the service will restore the service in the exact same state it was when you first disabled it. See also "Deleting a Service" below. **Rank on Screen**: this arbitrary number allows you to define the position of this service in the Service Bar relative to other services. The services with smaller values will appear first. The rank values don't have to be consecutive values. It is a good idea to use values like 10, 20, 30,... so that it is easy for you to insert new services in the future without having to renumber all the services. Deleting a Service `````````````````` Project services can be deleted. They appear with a small trash icon in the service list. Just click on this icon to suppress the service from the database. The service data are however preserved. System services cannot be deleted. However, you can disable them and they will not appear in the Service Bar. Services Administration ----------------------- *Location: Project Admin page* The project administration page gives direct access to the administration of all services that have been activated for a given project. This is available in the form of a series of pointers located on the lower left part of the project administration page. Only project members with appropriate permission are allowed to access the Tuleap services administration pages (see `User Permissions`_). Reference Pattern Configuration ------------------------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* The "Reference Configuration" item of the Project Administration menu lists all reference patterns available to the project. The "Reference Configuration" page allows a project administrator to update, enable, disable or even create reference patterns. .. _reference-overview: Reference Overview `````````````````` References are a powerful tool that allow cross-referencing of Tuleap objects. Based on a text pattern, Tuleap automatically creates hyperlinks to the desired object. When typing a follow-up comment or a commit message, any text containing the pattern "XXX #NNN" will be interpreted as a reference to the object of type XXX with ID number NNN. For instance, 'artifact #123' is recognized as a reference to artifact number 123, and Tuleap automatically creates a hyperlink that directly points to the details of artifact 123. You may also reference an object that belongs to another project. In that case, use either 'XXX #group\_id:NNN' or 'XXX #group\_name:NNN' to reference object XXX number NNN belonging to project which ID is 'group\_id' or which short name is 'group\_name'. For instance, 'wiki #myproj:Welcome' is a reference to the 'Welcome' wiki page of the project 'myproj'. Some reference patterns may need more than one parameter. In this case, use '/' as a separator between parameters. For example, 'wiki #Welcome/2' creates a reference to the wiki page named 'Welcome' at version '2'. There are two kinds of reference patterns: - **System reference patterns**: these reference patterns are defined by the site administrator and are common to all projects. They cannot be modified, except for their status (enabled/disabled). Most system references are related to a specific service. For example, 'artifact', 'doc', 'file' or 'wiki' are respectively related to the tracker, document manager, file manager and Wiki services. In order to facilitate the usage of such reference patterns, they are automatically enabled and disabled when the corresponding service is enabled/disabled. Still, it is always possible to enable or disable those reference patterns manually. - **Project reference patterns**: these reference patterns can be created, modified or deleted by the project administrator. Predefined Reference Patterns ````````````````````````````` Here is a list of predefined reference patterns: - **art #num or artifact #num**: Reference to artifact number 'num'. Note that 'num' is a system-wide number and is unique across projects. This reference links to the artifact detail/update page. In addition to the 'art' and 'artifact' keywords, artifacts may be referenced using the related tracker short name. For example, an artifact in the bug tracker can be referenced with **bug #NNN**, a support request with **sr #NNN**, a task with **task #NNN** and a patch with **patch #NNN**. So, when you create a custom tracker, make sure that you specify a meaningful tracker short name. - **commit #num or cvs #num**: Reference to CVS commit number 'num'. This is a system-wide number. The reference links to the commit details page: log message, impacted files, link to diff view, etc. - **rev #num or revision #num or svn #num**: Reference to Subversion revision number 'num'. This is a project-specific number, so if you need to reference a revision belonging to another project, you should specify the project in the reference (e.g. 'rev #myproj:123'). The reference links to the subversion revision details page: log message, impacted files, link to diff view, etc. - **wiki #wikipage and wiki #wikipage/num**: Reference to a wiki page named 'wikipage'. The second format allows one to specify a wiki page version. Wiki pages are project specific, so if you need to reference a page belonging to another project, you should specify the project in the reference. - **doc #num or document #num**: Reference to the document number 'num'. This is a system-wide number. Document numbers, or IDs, are visible in the 'Docs' main page by hovering over a document title with the mouse pointer. This reference links to the document itself. - **news #num**: Reference to the news item number 'num'. This is a system-wide number. The reference links to the news item page, where you can add comments. - **forum #num and msg #num**: Reference to forum number 'num' or to forum message number 'num'. Those are system-wide numbers. The first reference links to the forum welcome page, while the second one directly links to the message page, where you can view the message thread, and post a follow-up message. - **file #num**: Reference to file number 'num'. This is a system-wide number. This kind of reference allows a direct download of a file that is part of a release. File numbers, or IDs, are visible in the 'Files' main page by hovering over a file name with the mouse pointer. This reference links to the file itself, so you might be prompted for a location to store the file. You may also have to accept the project license before downloading the file. - **release #num**: Reference to release number 'num'. This is a system-wide number. Release numbers, or IDs, are visible in the 'Files' main page by hovering over a release name with the mouse pointer. This reference links to the project file manager page, where the referenced release is highlighted in the list. Reference Usage ``````````````` While working in the development or the maintenance phase of a software project, it is vital to keep track of the changes made to the source code. This is what Version Control systems like CVS and Subversion do. In addition to keeping track of the source code change history it is often critical to relate the changes to the artifact (a task, a defect or a support request) that led the developers to make a change in the code. And conversely, when reading the artifact description it is also very helpful to immediately see how the change was implemented. The integration of CVS and Subversion in Tuleap precisely provide the Tuleap users with this bi-directional cross-referencing mechanism. This is achieved through the use of references that are automatically detected by Tuleap in either the follow-up comments of the project artifacts or in the messages attached to a CVS or SVN commit. The system is not limited to artifact and commit references, so you may also reference the forum message where the bug was found, the documentation that describes an issue, or the file that fixes it. The system is flexible enough to allow referencing of items that are not stored in Tuleap. So you may now create your own reference pattern to link to an external document manager like DocuShare, or source code management tool like ClearCase **Tip** It is considered a best practice to always reference a bug, a task or a support request in any of the log message attached to a Subversion or CVS commit. Similarly when closing the related artifact (task, bug,etc.) make sure you mention the revision or commit number in the follow-up comment. You will find this extremely convenient while trying to keep track of the changes and why they were made. Creating or Updating a Reference Pattern ```````````````````````````````````````` When creating or updating a reference pattern, one has to fill the following fields: **Reference Keyword**: This is the keyword that triggers a reference creation when it is found. It should be concise and meaningful in order to facilitate readability. **Reference Description**: Short description of the reference. It is displayed in a tooltip when the mouse cursor is over an identified reference. **Reference Link**: This is the URL pointed by the reference, i.e. the address the user will be redirected to when clicking on a reference. The URL does not need to point to the Tuleap server: you may create references pointing to external pages. The page will be loaded in the current window. A few keywords can be inserted into the link: they will be automatically replaced by their value: - **$projname**: short name of the project. - **$group\_id**: project number. - **$0**: The keyword extracted for this reference. - **$1**: The first parameter in the reference. - **$2**: The second parameter in the reference. - **$3...$9**: Up to nine parameters in the reference. Examples: - **artifact #25**: '$0' is 'artifact', '$1' is '25' - **wiki #tuleap:Welcome/1**: '$0' is 'wiki', '$1' is 'Welcome', '$2' is '1', '$projname' is 'tuleap' - **myref #123:1/23/456**: '$0' is 'myref', '$1' is '1', '$2' is '23', '$3' is '456' and '$group\_id' is '123' - **google #tuleap/enalean**: '$0' is 'google', '$1' is 'tuleap', '$2' is 'enalean'. If you define the reference pattern 'google', with its link pointing at **http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=$1+$2**, clicking on the reference 'google #tuleap/enalean' will create a google search for 'tuleap enalean'. - **ds #123**: '$0' is 'ds', '$1' is '123'. If you define the reference pattern 'ds', with its link pointing at **http://docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-$1**, clicking on the reference 'ds #123' will download document '123' from your local DocuShare server. You should also note that the number of parameters is important: if the number of parameters used in the text does not match the number of parameters needed by the reference pattern, the reference will not be extracted. This allows one to create several reference patterns with the same keywords but different number of arguments. See for instance the 'wiki' references: 'wiki #Welcome' is a reference with one parameter, and it links to the wiki page 'Welcome', while 'wiki #Welcome/2' is another reference with two parameters that links to the wiki page 'Welcome' at version '2'. **Enabled**: Toggling this check box will simply disable (or enable) the reference pattern. Disabling a reference pattern just means that it is no longer extracted from text fields or commit emails. Re-enabling the reference pattern is possible. See also "Deleting a Reference Pattern" below. Deleting a Reference Pattern ```````````````````````````` Project reference patterns can be deleted. They appear with a small trash icon in the reference pattern list. Just click on this icon to delete the reference pattern from the database. A deleted reference pattern must be re-created if you need to use it again. System reference patterns cannot be deleted. However, you can disable them so that they will not be extracted. .. _user-permissions: User Permissions ---------------- *Location: Page Admin Content* Project Administrators have the ability to grant different permissions to different users. As an example, a project member can be granted full administration rights on the bug tracker and no rights at all on the Documentation Manager of the project. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/sc_userpermissions.png :align: center :alt: A sample project members permission table :name: A sample project members permission table A sample project members permission table `A sample project members permission table`_ shows a sample project members permission table. Each column represents a service or a user capability and there is one line per project member. Let's review the column one by one: - **Project Admin**: A Yes/No flag stating whether a given project member is a project administrator, that is to say a project member with absolutely all rights over the project services, project deliverables and project members. Only Project Admin can access the project members permission page. - **CVS Write**: Right now this is always set to Yes. All project members have write permission over the CVS [#f1]_ repository and this cannot be changed from the current version of the Web interface. However we'll see how to deny CVS write permission to project members in the CVS chapter (:ref:`version-control-with-CVS`). - **Trackers**: - *None*: the user has the same permissions on this tool as a non project member. - *Administrator*: tool administrators have full access to the administration part of the tools. As an example, they can define new artifact categories, new predefined values for artifact fields, etc. - **Forums, Documentation Manager**: - *None*: the user has the same permissions on this tool as a non project member. - *Moderator*: (Forums only): A moderator has the ability to moderate the Web Discussion forum that is to say create/delete discussion forums for the project, delete posted messages and update the Forum status (public/private) as well as the Forum description - *Editor*: (Doc Mgr only): An editor has the ability to review and validate a document prior to its publication. S/he can also update and delete a document. - **Member of user groups**: For each individual members, the column lists all the project user groups s/he belongs to. See `User Groups`_ for more information on user groups. **Important** Don't forget to click on the "Update User Permissions" button after making any changes in the permission table. .. _user-groups: User Groups ----------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* A user group, sometimes called a "ugroup ", is simply a group of Tuleap users. User groups are used to set specific permissions to some project data (e.g. software releases and packages - see :ref:`package-modification`). A user group is always attached to a project, but the users comprising the group do not necessarily belong to that project. User Groups Management `````````````````````` The "User Groups Admin" function of the Project Administration menu lists all available user groups, and provides a way to create new ones. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/sc_usergrouplist.png :align: center :alt: User Group Management Page :name: User Group Management Page User Group Management Page In the list, (see for example `User Group Management Page`_) there are two different kinds of user groups: **Pre-defined User Groups**: These groups are defined for every project. Examples of pre-defined groups are: **project\_members, project\_admins, registered\_users, nobody, file\_manager\_admin**, etc. These groups are dynamic: if you assign some permission to 'project\_admins', and a new project administrator is defined, then this new user will automatically be granted the corresponding permission. **Custom User Groups** are defined by project administrators. They are composed of a static list of users. The only requirement is that any member must be a registered Tuleap user. This list can be modified at any time, but will not automatically be updated, except if a member is removed from the project or deleted from the system. Creating a User Group ````````````````````` When creating a user group, one has to provide the following fields: **Name**: This is the label that will be displayed when selecting user groups in a permission screen. The group name may not contain space and punctuation. **Description**: Short description of the user group. It is only displayed in the User Group Admin page. **Create From**: This is a quick way of pre-selecting group members: you may create a user group from scratch (Empty Group), from all Project Members or Project Admins, or from an existing user group attached to this project. The members of the selected group will automatically be added to the new group. You will be able to add or remove members on the next screen. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/sc_usergroupedit.png :align: center :alt: User Group Edit :name: User Group Edit User Group Edit In the next page (see `User Group Edit`_), the project administrator may select individually the members of the new group. Two columns are displayed: the one on the left contains the list of all Tuleap registered users, while the one on the right contains the list of users already admitted to the group. Use the two arrows between the columns to move users from one column to the other. The user interface also provides convenient ways of selecting users when the registered list is very large: you can choose to display only those users whose login starts with a specific letter, or you may also filter the list by typing letters in the 'Filter' text box. For instance, if you type 'john', only users whose name or login contains 'john' will be displayed. Once you are done, you may click on the Submit button. The user group is created. **Tip** Sometimes, you might want to grant some permissions to all project members and some other Tuleap users. In this case, you might be tempted to build a user group from the list of project members and to add the other users to the group. The issue with this solution is that if new members join the project, they will have to be manually added to the group. So it is more convenient to create a group containing only the users that are not member of the project. And then, permissions should be granted to this group and to the pre-defined "project members" group. Updating a User Group ````````````````````` In order to update an existing user group, simply select it in the user group list. You will be presented with the same screen as with Group Creation, where you can update the name, description and composition of the user group. Deleting a User Group ````````````````````` User groups can be deleted. Just click on the trash icon next to the group name in the group management page (`User Group Management Page`_) to suppress the user group from the database. Only custom user groups can be deleted. **Important** Please note that if a user group was specifically granted some permission, deleting the user group might be dangerous. Indeed, if a group is the only one allowed to access a package and this group is deleted, the permission is also deleted and reset to default, so any registered user can access the package. User Group Binding `````````````````` User Group Binding allows non project members who belong to a user group in another in project to be allocated rights without becoming project members themselves. To do this, you need to be project admin of both projects. Let's do this with an example. Say there is the user group 'some_people' in the project called 'my project' and that you wish to give some rights to them in a project called 'my software'. In the project 'my software', go to the project admin area and click-on **User Groups Admin** then **Create a New User Group**. Call this group 'my_project_users', for example, then click on **Create user Group**. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/user_group_binding2.png :align: center :alt: User Group Creation :name: User Group Creation User Group Creation Once created, there will be a new screen with tabs to the left. Click on **Binding** then **Edit User group binding**. You will be asked to choose a source project. Choose 'my_project' and the user group 'some people'. Save by clicking on **Edit binding**. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/user_group_binding3.png :align: center :alt: User Group Binding :name: User Group Binding User Group Binding This will create the binded user group that you can use anywhere in your project as you would any normal user group. Additional Information on User Groups ````````````````````````````````````` It is possible to know all user groups one individual project member belongs to. Simply display the User Permissions page (`User Permissions`_). However, please note that only user groups belonging to the current project are displayed. The user might also be a member of additional user groups in other projects. The bottom of the User Group Edit page (`User Group Edit`_) also lists all the permissions granted to this group, e.g. packages and releases this user group is granted access to. When a project member is removed from a project, or quits a project, they are also automatically removed from all project user groups for safety reasons. Similarly, when a user is deleted (not just suspended) by the site administrator, they are removed from all user groups in all projects. .. _project-data-export: Project Data Export ------------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* Tuleap is very appealing to many project development teams because it provides full-featured project development and management tools. A software project can be managed almost entirely from within Tuleap. However a project team may need to perform some additional processing on the project data. It may need to report about progress made, what goes well or wrong, how far you are from the end date, derive statistical data, etc. It is far beyond the scope of Tuleap to provide project teams with such reporting tools. There are many specialized tools on the market to generate progress reports and each project team has its favorite one. In order to satisfy this diversity of needs, the Tuleap Team has developed a very efficient system that allows the project team to export the project data outside of Tuleap for re-use in other tools like MS Access, Excel, Crystal Report, Open Office, or any other ad-hoc tools. Exported Data ````````````` Tuleap gives access to the following data (details on exported fields are listed on the Tuleap page): - **Tracker**: the artifacts data, the changes history and the artifacts dependencies can be exported for each tracker. Text File Export ```````````````` Text File Export follow the well known CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, recognized by almost every Office Suite on the market. It can easily be imported in MS-Access, MS Excel, OpenCalc… Importing CSV Files in Excel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clicking on any of the table export link (Bug Export, Task Export,..) on the Project Data Export page generates and downloads a CSV file that you can save on your local disk or directly open in Excel or any other spreadsheet of your choice. No particular setting is required in most cases. Nevertheless, you can change the CSV separator and the date format (see :ref:`account-maintenance`) if the default one doesn't correspond with your Excel version [#f2]_. Importing CSV Files in MS-Access ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before you import external data you must first create a new database. Then go through the following steps: - Select ``File Menu -> Get External Data -> Import`` - Choose the appropriate CSV file that you have just generated and then click on the ``Import...`` button. A preview of the imported table shows up on the screen - Click on the ``Advanced...`` button - Set Text Delimiter to " (double quote) - Set Date Format to ``YMD`` - Set Date delimiter to - (dash) - Then enter the name and the type of each field in the lower part of the dialog box. Remember that this information is available on the Project Data Export page. **Note** **Important Remark**: you can leave the default field name (Field1,....FieldN) as well as the default Text type in most cases. However long text fields like bug/tasks follow-up comments (details field) and original comment must be declared as type Memo. Failing to do so will cause MS-Access to corrupt the imported data. In case you encounter difficulties opening your exported CSV file please consult our ? Once you are done with the specification of the Import, save it by clicking on the ``Save As...`` button. For future import of the same table simply click on the Specs... button and reload your Import specification. Tracker Artifact Import ----------------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* Please see :ref:`tracker-artifact-import` .. _project-history: Project History --------------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* The Project History provides project members with Audit capabilities. Clicking on this menu item shows a list of all the changes that have taken place in the administration of the project since its creation. The list of changes reports the nature of the change (e.g. Changed Public Info, Changed Permissions, Changed Software Map, ...) , what the value was before it changed (if applicable), who changed it and when. .. _access-logs: Access Logs ----------- *Location: Project Administration Menu* Depending on the configuration of the Tuleap site and on the configuration of each project, source code access, documents and file release download permissions may be granted to various populations. The Access Logs provide project members with a complete audit trail of who accessed what on the project. The page shows the following information: - The downloaded File Releases. It basically reports who downloaded what file and when (date and time). The time of download is reported in local time relative to the project member time zone. - The Tuleap users who used CVS to checkout or update the sources on their local desktop machine or who browsed source code via the CVS Web interface. - The Tuleap users who accessed the source code through the Subversion repository or who browsed source code via the CVS Web interface. - The Tuleap users who downloaded documents, except for those documents marked as being accessible to anonymous users in your Document Manager. Access Logs can be filtered out by users to show accesses from all users, project members or non project members (default). The time window can also be adjusted to show more or less access log history. .. figure:: ../images/screenshots/sc_sourcecodeaccesslogs.png :align: center :alt: Sample Access Log :name: Sample Access Log Sample Access Log .. [#f1] CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System. It is one of the source code version control system offered on the Tuleap site. CVS is used by hundreds of thousands of software projects all over the world. See http://cvs.nongnu.org/ for more information. .. [#f2] For example, by default, the separator for the french version of Excel is the semicolon instead of the comma. .. |image1| image:: ../images/icons/trash.png
