AssignPermission

Allows you to add, remove, or update permissions on a global object for a user, group, or the Others default group.

The AssignPermission command uses the following syntax:

AssignPermission

[-t <object_subtype>]

-n <object_name>

{-u <user_name> | -g <group_name>}

[-s <security_domain>]

-p <permission>

The following table describes pmrep AssignPermission options and arguments:

Example

You can add, remove, or update permissions with the -p option.

For example, to add read and write permissions on a folder, enter the following text at the prompt:

pmrep AssignPermission -o folder -n Sales -u Admin -p rw

You can also update permissions on an object. For example, you assigned permission to read on a folder and need to include permission to write. To update permissions, enter the following text at the prompt:

pmrep AssignPermission -o folder -n Sales -u Admin -p rw

To remove all permissions, enter the following text at the prompt:

pmrep AssignPermission -o folder -n Sales -u Admin -p ""
