Re: Delete entries in an IFS folder when *PUBLIC has full access.

Tom,

You are correct, *PUBLIC = ((All users known to the system) - (Users who have some explicit authority to that IFS file))

In order for a person to access the system they must have access to a User Profile's credentials

It seems *PUBLIC is a catch all, but just for users that try to access the folder that have an AS/400 user profile. Correct?

If that is true, then do you have to give authority using the GUEST profile? And I guess if you have no GUEST profile setup, the PC user cannot delete?

The read/write attribute on the share does not seem to make a difference either.
