Re: Permissions in IFS

Use these commands:

CHGOWN
CHGPGP
CHGAUT

All of these commands accept wildcards as in /Production/*

However, they do not process subfolders, so you need to execute the
commands for each subfolder.

One problem with your solution is if developers are creating new objects in
these folders.  The IFS does not honor your OS/400 user profile settings
and make the owner of the object the group profile.  So the object will be
owned by whoever creates it.  You would have to run a command to change it
to QPGMR after the fact.

For this reason, you might want to give *PUBLIC all authority within your
"Development" folders, and then if you use something like TurnOver to
"promote" the items, you can then automate the process of changing the
owner and authorities to something more restrictive in the "Production"
folders.

These aren't really Java-related questions, so you should email me in
private if you have any additional questions.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a good way to set permissions in the IFS?

What I'd like to do is give all authority to a group (QPGMR) and make the
group the owner.  Then, I want to limit *PUBLIC to read access only (*RX
for
directories).

That way, developers can update the objects (they're in QPGMR) and *public
can see what they need to see.  Eventually, we'd like to automate this
process (we use Turnover today and saw a demo of the eCM product) but I
need
a quick solution....

thanks
