Posted: Nov 29, 2010 01:56:48 AM hello,

check the view permissions.
My assumption is that you'll find out that the group has same permissions as the view's owner.

that can be changed after the view creation but easier to prevent.
E.G. (Linux/Unix) set you umask to 002 BEFORE you create the view.

What do you mean, 'the issue'?
You don't need to use anybody else's view: it depends on the config spec.

If you don't want to share files, don't use an SCM system. The whole purpose is to make development manageable by avoid duplication of information.
If you want to protect your version, apply a label on it, and lock it. And rename the branch away so that next time you can branch off it, whether orr not somebody else has created a 'next' version.

umask works for the view that wd be created in future

now the issue is what to do with the views already created

Foe Example:

ct desc /net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws
Non-MVFS directory "/net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws"
Modified: Tue Nov 30 10:44:08 2010
Protection:
User : eadiaza : rwx
Group: grcs : rwx
Other: : r-x

Is changing the permission with chmod is the right solution ??

>chmod 0755 /net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws

%ingrx025:/net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws >ct desc /net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws
Non-MVFS directory "/net/eingrna001/vol/vol_view1/cs_1views/eadiaza/eadiaza_vivr_fc_a152-pmr644.vws"

Not to be rude but those problematics are explained in the Rational ClearCase Admin training and documented in the official manuals.

Groups and Users is the chapter in question.I would suggest you to read also ClearCase Unix/Windows interop publication.
On your last post you are touching another problem: view ownership and view creation view ownership is done via fix_protCI protection is done via cleartool protectview storage properties reflect user's Unix/Linux rights
If you run the Unix/Linux chmod and/or chown native commands in a view you will screw things up
