Installing and Starting Up ViewPoint
There are three aspects of ViewPoint security. It controls who can do the following:
•
Install and start ViewPoint
•
Run ViewPoint
•
Perform specific functions through defined processes
Installing and Starting Up ViewPoint
When the system Install program is running, the ViewPoint ISV files are restored with
the operator’s current default security and ownership values. To install ViewPoint using
the ViewPoint Install routine, the installer must have read access to these ISV files.
After ViewPoint is installed on your system, the program and data files that were created
during the installation are owned by, and have the security of, the person who installed
the application. You should check the security attributes of these files to make sure they
are correct for the person planning to start ViewPoint. Anyone starting ViewPoint must
have the following combination of read and execute access to the files shown in Table 7-
3.
