DESCRIPTION

Granting access and creating accounts on the Perforce depots at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a 24/7 operation with engineers working around the world. Given the highly sensitive nature of the source code that resides on these depots, access to areas is tightly regulated and may be requested at a moment's notice. The administrators that create accounts and grant access to these areas should be enabled to perform these tasks wherever they are, and they may not necessarily have access to a desktop or have the means to log in to the company network remotely. By creating an interface accessible by Web browser with a pre-defined list of actions, AMD's administrators are able to perform these tasks securely by mobile device. Learn more about AMD's solution, and how you can enable mobile access to Perforce at your own company.
