Establishing Default Ownership
Establishing Default Ownership
You can specify two types of ownership with DEFAULT-PROTECTION. You specify
one with the OWNER attribute of the user record, and you specify the other with
OWNER authority in an access control list. Both types of owners can modify the disk
file authorization record after it is created. However, only the primary owner, specified
by the OWNER attribute, can set the PROGID attribute to protect program code. Also,
if the disk file is removed from the Safeguard database, the primary owner becomes
the Guardian owner.
If no primary owner is specified, as in the previous example, the primary owner is the
user for which DEFAULT-PROTECTION is being specified: in this case, ADMIN.JEFF.
However, if SECURITY.SUSAN needs to be the primary owner of all new files that
ADMIN.JEFF creates, she can specify her user ID for the OWNER attribute. For
example:
=ALTER USER 1,12, DEFAULT-PROTECTION OWNER 200,1
SECURITY.SUSAN displays the authentication record for ADMIN.JEFF to verify that
she is the default owner of any files he creates:
=INFO USER 1,12, DEFAULT-PROTECTION
The display shows:
Specifying Default Audit Attributes
DEFAULT PROTECTION also includes these four audit attributes for disk files:
•
AUDIT-ACCESS-PASS
•
AUDIT-ACCESS-FAIL
•
AUDIT-MANAGE-PASS
•
AUDIT-MANAGE-FAIL
These audit attributes are explained in detail in the Safeguard Audit Service Manual.
