Re: IFS folder and contents read only access for a specified user

Paul

Basically, private authorities are checked first and are used. So define the limited access you want for this person and leave *PUBLIC alone - I think that's right?

Could be better to set up an authorization list with the limited authority for each one you want. Might need to put an entry for *PUBLIC in there, too, it's been far too long.

The security reference has a chapter or section with flowcharts on how the system checks authority - well worth looking at - for 6.1, try this -

I need to restrict access to an IFS folder, contents, and subfolders for a specific user.
New items arrive in this folder 3x per day.
Currently, the folder permissions are as below.

At first, it was decided to make a copy of the folder for the restricted user.
This will be a manual process, might get messy/sloppy.

Another approach would be to give only that user read only access.

Is this easily done?
How?
Would *PUBLIC have to change?

--Object Authorities-- -------------Data Authorities-------------
Exist Mgt Alter Ref Objopr Read Add Update Delete Execute
*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X X X X X X X
CS_GRP *RWX X X X X X X X X X X
