ADD DEVICE and SUBDEVICE Commands
ADD DEVICE or SUBDEVICE creates a Safeguard authorization record for one or
more devices or subdevices. After an authorization record is created for a device or
subdevice, all attempts to access the device or subdevice are subject to Safeguard
authorization checks and, optionally, to Safeguard auditing.
Only a local super-group user can add an authorization record for a device or
subdevice unless otherwise specified by the OBJECTTYPE DEVICE or SUBDEVICE
ACL.
You can use SET DEVICE or SET SUBDEVICE to establish default attribute values
and then use ADD DEVICE or ADD SUBDEVICE to name the devices or subdevices
to which the default attribute values are to be applied. You can also specify values for
SET [SUB]DEVICE Sets one or more default device or subdevice attribute values to
specified values. When a device or subdevice authorization
record is added, the current default device or subdevice attribute
values are used for any attributes not specified in the ADD
DEVICE or ADD SUBDEVICE command.
SHOW [SUB]DEVICE Displays the current default values of the device or subdevice
attributes.
THAW [SUB]DEVICE For frozen devices and subdevices, restores the access
authorities granted to users in the device or subdevice ACL.
