The Admin Menu (Administrators Only)

The options on the Admin menu are primarily meant for administrators rather than end-users. The ability to use administrative functions is controlled by a customized server trigger script called server_admin_trig.pl. A sample script with documentation is found on the server in
<ac_install>/examples.

If you do not have administrative privileges, you are able to view these options, but will not be allowed to modify or save data.

Depots Tab Layout

Status	(appears if Show removed depots is checked) Active indicates that the depot is available for use. Removed indicates that the depot has been permanently removed from the repository. (The maintain rmdepot command permanently and irreversibly removes a depot from the repository. See "Removing a Depot from the AccuRev Repository" in the AccuRev Admin Help.)
Depot #	The unique integer that identifies a particular depot. This identifier cannot be modified.
Name	The depot's name, which must differ from all other depot names in the repository. A depot can be renamed, but its depot number never changes.
Slice #	Same as Depot#.
