Re: Deleting IFS Object - Authorities Question

Does the user happen to have a private authority to the directory?

That would take precedence over *PUBLIC.

*RWX applies to the contents...

WHat are the object authorities?
Data --Object Authorities--
Opt User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref

*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X

I've run into a case where *PUBLIC has *RWX authority to the directory

and

*RW authority to the file.

The User ID that is running the RMVLNK command has *RW authority to the
file and is the owner, yet they aren't able to delete the file. It was
originally created under that user profile as well.
