SYMPTOMS

Setting project-level rights fails when you use the SourceSafe SSADMIN tool from the command line on the Macintosh.

RESOLUTION

If working in a multi-platform environment, use the Windows, Windows NT, or MS-DOS SSADMIN executable to change the project-level rights.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SourceSafe version 3.04 and 3.1 for Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
