Controlling IFS File Access (setacl)
To view access permissions, on IFS space, type fs listacl. Permissions for the current directory will be displayed. All files within that directory share that permission status.
fs listacl
lsa.pops:members rl system:administrators rl system:anyuser rl lisan rlidwka
To change the permission status of a directory, change to the directory:
cd test
To remove "read" access to anyone but the owner:
fs setacl . lsa.pops:members l system:administrators l system:anyuser l
Any "child" of a directory will have the same permissions as the parent directory. However, if the parent directory has its permissions altered at a later date, the permission status does not change in the "child" directory.
To allow another user access to a directory:
fs setacl . suzanned rw
A menu-driven script, Permit, that sets permissions in IFS space is being developed. See PC-Staff for details or just try it out.
