Re: [NV-L] Add a User to the read-only map

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Map access on the Unix server? That
is managed based on Unix groups and users, and the ovwperms command. It
is most easily done using the gui, serversetup, where there is an option
to manage map permissions. The permissions are applied to the map, and/or
the map directory. The Unix admin makes sure the user is in the right group.

I usually do something like:
Root owns the map 'default'; the Netview
admins are in a unix group nvadmin.
Set the permissions for the map to 664.
This means root and the nvadmin guys can get the map 'default' r/w (first-come,
first-served). Anyone else can only get it r/o. This means no one needs
special permission to get this map r/o, they just need a Unix account.

Also run the command with the 'Global'
option set. This controls who can create new maps. 

Anybody else on these permissions? I
think I have seen cases lately where you need x, like 775 instead of the
664 that I used for years. 

Another way might be this:
Root owns the map 'roMap'. The operators
are in a group called nvoper.
Set the permissions for the map to 640.
This means that root can get it r/w, the guys in the nvoper group can get
it r/o, and no one else can get it at all. Also run the command with the
Global option. Otherwise those who open a r/o map can do a File..Save As..
and make their own r/w map.
