The read-only File and Library fields show the users or group to whom these rules apply.

In the Location Group ID field, you can specify a numbered location group from 1 through 254, as shown in . Only members of that group may operate on that file.

Each of the single-character fields may be set to Y for Yes or S to Skip (allowing the operation without logging).

In each line of the rest of the screen, you can indicate how a specified user or group may operate on the file:

User*, %Group, Group profile

The name or generic name of a user or group for whom you are creating these settings. To see a list of possible users or groups, press the F4 key.

Location Group ID

If location groups are enabled, this rule may be restricted to a given numbered location group. To enable location groups, press the F11 key.

DATA Read

If set to Y, the user or group may read the data in the file.

DATA Write

If set to Y, the user or group may write data to the file.

FILE MANAGEMENT Create

FILE MANAGEMENT Delete

If set to Y, the user or group may delete the file.

FILE MANAGEMENT Rename
