Re: Deleting IFS Object - Authorities Question

Ya, that's what I'm finding. But I am trying to help them figure out
why... I don't think they were removed, they were just never granted. And
the user in question is the one running the application to create it in the
first place.

All my testing has shown the file adopts authorities from the directory.

Of course, if they run it with a user with *ALLOBJ it works fine and the
file is removed.

If by "the user profile appears to not have any object authorities" you
mean this

Data --Object Authorities--
User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref

*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X
CWILT5 *RWX

Then it would appear that the owner's authorities have been removed and
would explain why they can't delete the file.

Normally the owner (CWILT5) should have
Data --Object Authorities--
User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref

*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X
CWILT5 *RWX X X X X

*PUBLIC has exist, mgt, alter and ref. The user doesn't have any of

these.

That would take precedence over *PUBLIC.

*RWX applies to the contents...

WHat are the object authorities?
Data --Object Authorities--
Opt User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref

*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X

What authorities to the parent directory and file does a profile need

I've run into a case where *PUBLIC has *RWX authority to the

directory

and

*RW authority to the file.

The User ID that is running the RMVLNK command has *RW authority to

the

file and is the owner, yet they aren't able to delete the file. It

was

originally created under that user profile as well.
