Restricting Access at Stream Level

Current RM access regulation is only possible at project level, or at a team level. There should be a way to restrict access at stream level. When we want to restrict users to work/edit only on their respective stream and not the Master stream, there is no way to enforce that. Stream level access control is required for this.

    Although a stream level permissions model sounds appealing, I worry that performance may suffer performing the permissions check. Even if it doesn't, who has the time to maintain a permissions model at the stream level (assuming your a large scale company)? If the purpose of this request is enabling external supplier access, one can do that at a project level. You could also create another ELM instance and manage permissions at a project level with the burden of transferring components between your native production instance and the external supplier ELM instance.

    IBM if this change goes forward, please give your customers the opportunity to disable stream level permissions at a project level. Right now, GM uses a single project permission model and inherit it in all other projects with the exception of 3 which have a subset of the total number of users who have access to our main projects.

    In order to clarify this enhancement. We understand the need for both READ and also WRITE access controls within streams. If this enhancement specific to WRITE access to a stream or is it asking for streams to be fully private for defined users? i.e. project membership does not mean you can see all streams?

    IBM has determined that this request is likely not to be the delivered in the next release, but the theme of this feature is within our strategy
