This section describes some ALM basic concept.
ALM projects
When you create an ALM project, you need to store and manage the data that was generated and collected by ALM. Each project is supported by a database that stores project information.
For details on creating and managing ALM projects, see Project management.
User privileges
ALM enables you to manage user access to a project. By creating a list of authorized users and assigning each user a password and user group, you control the kinds of additions and modifications that each user makes to the project. The user group determines the privileges that the user has within a project. ALM includes a privileges and permissions mechanism that enables you to create rules for specific fields in a project.
For detailed information on the user groups available in ALM, and on assigning passwords and privileges, see
Project history management
When you customize your project, you can instruct ALM to preserve a log of values for the system and user fields in your project. For details on enabling history for a field, see
When the history data is no longer needed, you can choose to delete this data from your ALM project. For example, if you have successfully run the test sets you created, you may want to clear the test history from your project.
You can choose to clear all history data, or you can select a specific entity or field whose history you want to clear. In addition, you can choose to delete history data up to and including a specific date. ALM clears the data displayed in the History tab of the corresponding modules.
