You can provide new values for the owner, protection
code, or ACL of a protected object or even copy a profile from one
object to another by using the SET SECURITY command.
For example, the SHOW SECURITY display in “Displaying a Security Profile” shows
the file 93_FORECAST.TXT is owned by user Greg. As owner, he can change
the protection code for that file. Originally, the code gave no access
to users in the world category. Now, Greg changes that to allow read
and write access to world users:
$SET SECURITY/PROTECTION=(W:RW) 93_FORECAST.TXT |
The SHOW SECURITY command verifies the new protection
code for the file:
$SHOW SECURITY 93_FORECAST.TXT
93_FORECAST.TXT object of class FILE
Owner: [GREG]
Protection: (System: RWED, Owner: RWED, Group: RE, World: RW)
Access Control List: <empty> |
“Specifying an Object's Class” shows how to modify other elements
in a profile. “Controlling Access with ACLs” and “Controlling Access with Protection Codes” discuss protection codes and ACLs
extensively. For a full description of the SET SECURITY and SHOW SECURITY
commands, see the HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.
