Managing Group Traits at the Console

A message similar to the following appears:
SYSTEM.CABLES 5 out of 5 changed
...
SYSTEM.WIRES 4 out of 4 changed
Now, only system administrators, logged in with an superuser account, can see the System
directory on their screens.
You might also have a queue to which you want people to move or duplicate stories, but that
you do not want anyone to read or go to. An example of this would be a confidential
suggestions queue to which people would move stories containing suggestions. Once placed
in this queue, suggestions would be visible only to those authorized or to superusers.
For instance, to set the read group of the Suggestions queue to mngmt, as a console
superuser, type:
NRCS-A# dbtraits suggestions rg mngmt
n
All users you want to allow the capability to send suggestions need to have write access to
the queue.
To make changes take effect on stories already in the Suggestions queue, remain a console
superuser and type:
NRCS-A# gtraits changegroup suggestions
Unless you are a member of the mngmt group, you can not see this queue in the Directory
panel or open this queue. You may copy or move stories containing suggestions to this
queue.
Removing Directory or Queue Restrictions
To remove a directory or queue’s read or write restrictions at the console, you first must log
on as a console superuser—that is, the prompt should appear with a number sign (#) not a
colon (:). To remove a restriction, type dbtraits followed by the name of the directory or
queue you want to change, then rg, wg, ng, and a dash (-).
For instance, to remove both the read and write restrictions from the Phonelists queue:
At a console, in superuser mode, type:
NRCS-A# dbtraits phonelists rg - wg -
