Re: IFS Authority

I went into NT explorer.  The option to modify permission's to a
subdirectory is by default not turned on.  But as you state, it is possible
to do this on a PC.  So I went into Operations Navigator to see if this was
possible on the 400.  And currently it is not.  But if you're really
friendly with IBM then perhaps you can submit a Design Change Request, or
try to submit it through COMMON.

In the future I would suggest you secure all of your directories with
Authorization Lists instead of individually.  For example, I did the
following:
CRTAUTL AUTL(ROB)
WRKAUTL ROB  and added a few people
md '/rob2'
CHGAUT OBJ('/rob2') AUTL(ROB)
md '/rob2/duh'
wrklnk '/rob2'
Option 5 to display
Then took option 9 on '/rob2/duh' and noticed that it adopted the
authorization list.  Now if I add/delete anyone from the authorization list
ROB, they have the proper access without having to change each object.
Otherwise your down to:
CHGAUT OBJ('/rob2') USER(FRED) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
CHGAUT OBJ('/rob2/*') USER(FRED) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
CHGAUT OBJ('/rob2/duh/*') USER(FRED) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
Oh well, at least in the IFS you can use wild cards, like *.  In fact, I've
gotten so used to this I use IFS commands on library objects.  Like
CHGAUT OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/DATDIVF.LIB/*') USER(FRED) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)

Hi

I have an IFS /QOpenSys/EDI/Applic/Send like this.I authorized the user for
EDI thinking that all the sub directories he will get authorized.But it was
not so then  I had to authorize Applic as well as Send Subdirectories.Why
it's like this? (I thought IFS behaves like PC)

Thanks

Rizwan
