Visual Source Safe

[hau tran]

Dear fellow Professionals,
I have been searching for a way to block the Source Safe database such that no clients is able to destroyed permanently files or projects besides the VSS administrator. I went through MSDN as well as Microsoft Knowledged Base but haven't found a way to do the task. I would be greatly appreciate for all of your invaluable information and guidances. Thank you all in advance. I'm looking forward to hear from you.

Regards,

With the VSS Admin tool you can enable project security (menu Tools->Options) and then use the same menu to assign rights to each user on an individual basis.

You can also implement custom security levels by creating an 'add-in' ActiveX DLL that can catch events for deleting code from the database (this is quite simple - if you need some example code, the MSDN has a full example of creating an add-in to catch all the events).
