As a site administrator, you can help project managers and members of the site work
together effectively throughout the application life cycle.
Move a site from CollabNet Enterprise Edition to CollabNet TeamForge 8.1
As a domain administrator, you will find some aspects of TeamForge similar to CollabNetEnterprise 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 CollabNetTeamForge8.1. 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 CollabNetTeamForge 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 CollabNetTeamForge environment at any time after CollabNetTeamForge installation is complete.
Provide external applications
If your site's users need access to an application or web site that is not part of CollabNetTeamForge, you can make it available by linking or integrating from within your CollabNetTeamForge 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.
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 TeamForgeLab Management site where project members can remotely build and test their code.
