E Managing Traits at the Console
288
For instance, to assign an editorial group of producers to the queue SHOW.5PM, type:
dbtraits show.5pm eg producers
n
If no editorial group is assigned, the relevant permissions apply to the write group to stay
consistent with previous functionality.
To list all queues in the database with a particular group assigned as their editorial group,
use:
list eg=<group name> d
Notify Group
To set a queue’s notification group, use:
dbtraits <queue name> ng <group name>
For instance, to assign a notification group of producers to the queue WIRES.WAR, type:
dbtraits wires.war ng producers
To list all queues in the database that have a particular group assigned as their notification
group, use:
list ng=<group name> d
Restricting Access Using Read and Write Limitations
In addition to restricting access to various queues, you can use group access and usage
restrictions to hide queues or directories by placing a strict read restriction on them.
For instance, the System directory is usually restricted so that only superusers can write
stories there. You can hide this directory so it does not appear in the main directory for
normal users. Set its read group to a group with no users, such as sysop. (Because system
administrators can read everything in the database, they can see the directory.)
To set the System directory’s read group to sysop at the console:
1. Enter superuser mode so that the prompt appears like this:
NRCS-A#
2. Type:
NRCS-A# dbtraits system rg sysop
3. To apply changes you made to stories already in the directory, type:
NRCS-A# gtraits changegroup system
