Preface
About This Manual
This is the Perforce 2000.1 System Administrator's Guide.

It describes the installation, configuration, and operation of a Perforce server from an administrator's perspective. This includes the set of tasks typically performed by a "system administrator" (i.e. installation and configuration of the software, as well as ensuring uptime and data integrity), as well as those performed by a "Perforce administrator", including setting up Perforce users, setting Perforce depot access controls, resetting Perforce user passwords, and so on.

Since Perforce requires no special system permissions, the Perforce administrator typically does not require root-level access. Depending on your site's needs, your Perforce administrator need not be your system administrator.

Both the UNIX and NT versions of the Perforce server are administered from the command line. If you are unfamiliar with the command line interface to Perforce, you will find the Perforce Command Reference, which describes the Perforce command line interface in detail, to be a good companion to this guide.

Although this guide will teach you how to administer a Perforce server, it won't teach you the basics of actually using Perforce. You may also wish to consult the Perforce User's Guide for more information on Perforce from a user's perspective.

All our documentation is available from our web site at http://www.perforce.com.
