Assign separate admins to different repositorites?

[rda]

Hi, I have another question-

In the past, we have had MS SourceSafe running on a central server on which reside many different code repositories. We have these repositories completely separate, with different administrators, developers, etc.

Now I see that in Vault it's easy to separate the repositories on the Client side using access control. However, what if I want to assign a certain person to administrate a single repository using the Admin web interface (be able to add/delete useres, control Folder Security, etc), and I do NOT want them to have admin access (or even be able to see) the other repositories on the Admin web interface? Is there a way to do this, or is there another way to administrate that I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

You can make a user a full admin on a repository only. They can't add/remove users, but if a user is there, they can manage that user's access in the repository and other aspects that pertain only to that repository. In the admin web page, you will see two sections. The top part is for server global settings. The bottom part is where settings for individual repositories are. In the access area of the repositories, you can give a user admin rights, access, or no access. The user in question would have admin rights on one and no access on the others. That user then wouldn't see the admin settings that pertain to the entire server in the top area, nor would the user see other repositories. That user would see the one repository they administrate in the admin web page.

Ok, that makes sense. I think that will be fine for what we need. It's probably better than our old style in fact, since this way all the users have common logins and passwords for all repositories so it's easy to do cross-repository read access or whatnot without having to add new users. Thanks!
