Controlling User Access
Safeguard Administrator’s Manual—523317-013
2-38
Specifying the Default Volume and Subvolume
Assume that SECURITY.SUSAN wants to change the Guardian default security string
for ADMIN.JEFF to NUNU. To do so, SECURITY.SUSAN uses this SAFECOM
command:
=ALTER USER admin.jeff, GUARDIAN SECURITY 'NUNU'
The word DEFAULT in the GUARDIAN DEFAULT SECURITY attribute is optional
when you enter the command. You can include it for readability, but it is not required.
Similarly, quotes around the security string specifier are also optional.
To verify the results of the command, SECURITY.SUSAN issues this INFO USER
command:
=INFO USER admin.jeff, GENERAL
Specifying the Default Volume and Subvolume
If you do not specify a value for the GUARDIAN DEFAULT VOLUME attribute when
you add a Safeguard user authentication record, that user is assigned the saved
default volume and subvolume of $SYSTEM.NOSUBVOL on the local system.
Assume that SECURITY.SUSAN wants to change the Guardian saved default volume
and subvolume for ADMIN.JEFF to $SECURE.JEFF. To do so, SECURITY.SUSAN
uses this SAFECOM command:
=ALTER USER admin.jeff, GUARDIAN DEFAULT VOLUME $secure.jeff
The word DEFAULT in the GUARDIAN DEFAULT VOLUME attribute is optional, but it
is included here for readability.
