Support project teams with CollabNet TeamForge

As a site administrator, you can help project managers and members of the site work together effectively throughout the application life cycle.

A site administrator gets a special administration toolbar that looks like this:

• Move a site from CollabNet Enterprise Edition to CollabNet TeamForge 6.1.1
  As a domain administrator, you will find some aspects of TeamForge similar to CollabNet Enterprise Edition and others quite different. Here are some steps you can take to ease the transition for yourself and your site's users.
• Delegate site administration tasks with site-wide roles
  To spread out the site administration burden, consider creating additional site administrators with permissions to do almost everything a full site administrator can do.
• Provide ready-made roles
  You might want to create roles that projects across the site can use with minimum effort and maintenance. Using global project roles is an easy way of enforcing role-based similarities and removing role duplication across projects.
• Manage projects as a group
  To manage two or more independent projects, create a project group in CollabNet TeamForge 6.1.1. Similar to projects, a project group provides the platform for sharing project members, roles and permissions across a group of projects. With some well planned settings, you can manage several of your projects and also effectively control the project members accessing each project.
• Manage users
  You can help projects succeed by creating and managing user accounts.
• Support projects
  CollabNet TeamForge administrators can do a variety of things to help projects on the site be successful.
• Provide source control services
  You can add a source control server to the CollabNet TeamForge environment at any time after CollabNet TeamForge installation is complete.
• Change your site's look and feel
  You can redesign some aspects of your site to suit your organization's needs and preferences.
• Provide external applications
  If your site's users need access to an application or web site that is not part of CollabNet TeamForge, you can make it available by linking or integrating from within your CollabNet TeamForge site.
• Add a custom event handler to your TeamForge site
  An event handler is a program that watches for events on a TeamForge site and communicates them to another system. You can add your own event handlers to the set that are built into TeamForge.
• Monitor your site
  To facilitate troubleshooting, keep an eye on key data about your CollabNet TeamForge site.
• Keep your site secure
  As site administrator, you are responsible for making sure passwords are effective and hackers can't get in.
• Support hardware provisioning
  You can provide project managers with a TeamForge Lab Management site where project members can remotely build and test their code.
