That's not exactly what I meant, what I was asking was if a person has commit rights on a project that delivers to ON, do they automatically get ON commit rights, or do they explicitly need to be granted ON commit rights in addition to their project-level rights? >> It is a user-editable field in the current system.

In the new database it is a freeform text field on each user's Agreement record called 'reference'. In the case of Sun employees it will be their sunid, for individuals it will be their SCA number, for other organisations it could be their equivalent. As for delegated administrative rights, there is currently no provision for that, and as it is a significant change I don't anticipate it being available in the first version. -- Alan Burlison --
