The RMU Set Privilege command allows you to manipulate an entire root file ACL, or to create, modify, or delete access control entries (ACEs) in a root file ACL. See the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Design and Definition for introductory information on ACEs and ACLs. Use the RMU Set Privilege command to add ACEs to a root file ACL by specifying the ACEs with the Acl qualifier. Privileges Required for Oracle RMU Commands shows the privileges a user must have to access each Oracle RMU command. If the database root file you specify with RMU Set Privilege command does not have an ACL, Oracle RMU creates one. The RMU Set Privilege command provides the following qualifiers to manipulate ACEs and ACLs in various ways: After Delete Like New Replace By default, any ACEs you add to a root file ACL are placed at the top of the ACL. Whenever Oracle RMU receives a request for Oracle RMU access for a database that has a root file ACL, it searches each entry in the ACL from the first to the last for the first match it can find, and then stops searching. If another match occurs further down in the root file ACL, it has no effect. Because the position of an ACE in a root file ACL is so important, you can use the After qualifier to correctly position an ACE. When you use the After qualifier, any additional ACEs are added after the specified ACE. You can delete ACEs from an ACL by including the Delete qualifier and specifying the ACEs with the Acl qualifier. To delete all the ACEs, include the Delete qualifier and specify the Acl qualifier without specifying any ACEs. You can copy an ACL from one root file to another by using the Like qualifier. The ACL of the root file specified with the Like qualifier replaces the ACL of the root file specified with the root-file-spec parameter. Use the New qualifier to delete all ACEs before adding any ACEs specified by the Acl, Like, or Replace qualifiers. You can replace existing ACEs in a root file ACL by using the Replace qualifier. Any ACEs specified with the Acl qualifier are deleted and replaced by those specified with the Replace qualifier. The existing ACE can be abbreviated when you use the Delete, Replace, or After qualifiers. Use the RMU Set Privilege command with the Edit qualifier to invoke the ACL editor. You can specify the following qualifiers only when you specify the Edit qualifier also: Journal Keep Mode Recover For more information on the ACL editor, see the OpenVMS documentation set.
