We are using a perforce setup where different teams have different access privileges to paths in the depot.
Now we would like to use a script along the lines of the python scripts at http://wiki.workshop.perforce.com/wiki/P4Review to send commit mails to users who have subscribed for changes in certain paths.
We want to use a central service for sending these mails using an account which has the privileges to view the changelists submitted by all developers.
The p4review.py script uses the p4 reviews command to figure out who has subscribed to which depot path. Unfortunately this command seems not to consider if the user who subscribed to commits in a certain path is actually allowed to see changelist contents (i.e. the names of the files submitted).
We checked by subscribing a user to a path (with p4 user in the reviews section), such as //depot1/path1/... and then revoked all privileges for that user.
Then we searched for a changelist which changes something below //depot1/path1 and called p4 reviews -c <changelist> for it. The user was still listed as reviewer of this changelist.
So what is preferred way to make sure that developers will receive commit mail only for changes they are actually permitted to see?
Perforce server version is 2011.1.
