ADD OBJECTTYPE Command
ADD OBJECTTYPE creates a Safeguard authorization record for a class of objects.
After an OBJECTTYPE authorization record is created, every attempt to create an
authorization record for an object of that type is subject to Safeguard authorization
checks and, optionally, to Safeguard auditing. By default, only a member of the local
super-group can add an OBJECTTYPE authorization record for a class of objects.
You can use SET OBJECTTYPE to establish default attributes and then use ADD
OBJECTTYPE to name the object class to which the default attributes are to be
applied. You can also specify values for the OBJECTTYPE attributes in the ADD
OBJECTTYPE command. The current default values are used for any attributes not
specified.
SET
OBJECTTYPE
Sets OBJECTTYPE attribute values to specified default values.
SHOW
OBJECTTYPE
Displays the current default values
of the OBJECTTYPE attributes.
THAW
OBJECTTYPE
Reenables a frozen OBJECTTYPE. Then user IDs with appropriate
entries on the OBJE
CTTYPE ACL can create authorization records once
again.
