11.4.1 How User-Related Entries are Expanded in XOS Queries
Each OSGROUP mask is expanded for each user in the ACL as described below:
• *, 255 will expand to all groups that have a 255 user.
• SUPER.* or 255,* will expand to all members of the SUPER group.
• Alias:"joe*" will expand to all aliases that begin with the lowercase characters "joe".
• UNDERLYING:RA.* or UNDERLYING:232,* will expand to all aliases for any
member of the RA group on the local node.
• NETUNDERLYING:\*.RA.* or NETUNDERLYING:\*.232,* will expand to all aliases
for any member of the RA group.
ACLGROUPs will expand to their constituent userids and aliases. If the constituents
include any of the above wildcards, they will also be expanded as shown above.
• OBJECT_OWNER_GROUP.* will expand to all members of the file owner’s group.
• NETUNDERLYING:\*.OBJECT_OWNER_GROUP.\*. will expand to all aliases for
any member of the file owner’s group.
To help make it clear how XSW derived a specific userid or alias, the output grids
include the ACL_Name column, which contains the actual entry in the FOGROUP’s
ACL. So if the ACL entry is an ACLGROUP, the ACLGROUP name will be the
ACL_Name for any of the userids it includes.
Example 1: How an ACLGROUP user-list is expanded
ACLGROUP $JAY \*.CERT.JILL \*.1,* NETUNDERLYING:\*.1,*
NETUNDERLYING:\*.222,250
The ACLGROUP in Example 1 includes XYPRO.JILL, any members of Group 1, all
aliases with an underlying ID in Group 1, and all aliases with an underlying ID of
222,250. In this case, it expands to the 7 userids or aliases shown below:
Grp# User# GrpName UserName Alias Why included
222 30 CERT JILL \*.CERT.JILL
1 1 QA TEST \*.1,*
1 22 QA JAMES \*.1,*
1 1 QA TEST qa-james NETUNDERLYING:\*.1,*
222 250 CERT MGR james NETUNDERLYING:\*.222,250
222 250 CERT MGR jamesoss NETUNDERLYING:\*.222,250
222 250 CERT MGR jamesrsa NETUNDERLYING:\*.222,250
If this ACLGROUP is then included in the ACL of an FOGROUP, each of these userids
and aliases will have a row in the display for each file "protected" by the FOGROUP.
The userids and aliases will appear in the order they do in the ACLGROUP.
