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.
