SECURITY /PROTECTION /CLASS=DEVICE commands.
1 /DEFAULT
Establishes the default protection for files created by the
current process.
Format
SET PROTECTION[=(code)]/DEFAULT
1.1 – Parameter
code
Specifies the category of protection to be assigned by default
to all files subsequently created by the current process.
To override this protection, you must specify an explicit
protection using either the SET SECURITY /PROTECTION command
or the /PROTECTION qualifier on the CREATE command. If you do not
specify a protection code, the current default remains unchanged.
The protection code is made up of the following components:
o Ownership category-system (S), owner (O), group (G), or
world (W). Each category can be abbreviated to its first
character.
o Access category-Read (R), write (W), execute (E), or delete
(D). The access category is assigned to each ownership
category. A null access specification means no access.
NOTE
Use the SET SECURITY/PROTECTION command to reset security
characteristics of the directory or file.
1.2 – Example
$ SET PROTECTION=(GROUP:RWED,WORLD:R)/DEFAULT
The SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT command in this example sets the
default protection to grant unlimited access to other users in
the same group and read (R) access to all users. The default
protections for system and owner are not changed.
