11.5.1  How User Entries are Expanded in Safeguard Queries 
Each Protection Record mask is expanded for each user in the ACL as described 
below: 
•  <group name>.* or <group number>,* will expand to all members of the <group>. 
For Example, SUPER.* and 255,* will expand to all members of the SUPER group. 
•  *.* will expand to every user on the system. 
•  \*.<group>.* will expand to every <group> member on all nodes included in the 
Collection. 
•  \*.*.* will expand to every user on all nodes included in the Collection. 
If the user identified in the ACLs by User or Files by User queries is also in a 
filesharing group that is referenced, these ACLs will also participate. This only applies 
to these two queries. 
11.5.2  The Safeguard Access Queries 
The available queries are: 
•  ACLs by User 
•  ACLs by Object 
•  Files by User 
•  Subvols Xref 
•  ACLs Xref 
ACLs by Object Query 
Entering an exact or wild-carded file mask will return a listing of all Protection Records 
that protect files that match the mask. 
There will be one row per file, per ACL_NAME, so if a Protection Record includes six 
ACL entries, there will be a row for each of the six entries. 
Example 1: 
$VOL.INVENTDB 
    21MAR07, 7:54 \*.253,1 THAWED  OFF 
   \*.240,255   R,W, P,C 
   \*.241,255   R,W, P,C 
   \*.242,255   R,W 
 GROUP  \*.00240    R,  C 
 GROUP  \*.00241   R,W 
 GROUP  \*.00242   R 
The Protection Record in Example 1 will return rows for \*.240,255, \*.241,255, 
\*.242,255, \*.240,*, \*.241,* and \*.242,*:
