The P4V administrator can create a graph depot and assign access permissions to graph depots or repos . See P4Admin User Guide.

If your P4V administrator has granted you access, you can right-click a repo, and click Sync Repo To... The Sync Repo dialog appears, and you can sync to Latest, a Branch, a Tag, or a Commit SHA-1.

In P4V,

  • a graph depot is read-only
  • if a hybrid workspace is of type writeable, the graph depot files are read-only
  • if a hybrid workspace is of type graph, all the files in the workspace are read-only
