Setting security on IFS new files and folders

[Paul D B]

Hi all,

Can someone explain how to set security (using OpsNav or other means) on an
IFS folder in a way so that all newly created subfolders and files will have
the same permissions as that parent folder?

Can't seem to get it done. Must be missing something obvious.

I'm using Infoprint Server to create PDF docs of spooled files. These PDF's
are deposited in an IFS folder to which Public has RWX access. However the
PFS's do not inherite those permissions...

TIA

OK think I found it, this behaviour is typical for Infoprint server
generated PDF's.
It seems to be possible to specify the public authority, but one needs a PTF
in order to get the PDFDTAAUT parameter in the CHGPSFCFG command

Paul,

I don't know about a special PTF to apply to get to it, but you will
have to do an F9 or F10 to find where to put it. Under the PSF
Defined Option (PSFDFNOPT) keyword, put:
'PDFDTAAUT(*INDIR)'

To make this change I believe the writer has to be ended, then go into
the PSFCFG with an option two, do an F10 and F9 both and look for PSF
Defined option (keyword PSFDFNOPT) and then enter:
'PDFDTAAUT(*INDIR)'

Then, any new folders created beneat that folder will have the same
security settings copied.

I have quite a bit of experience on this. Also, you can use an
AUTL...but the person who ends up creating subdirectories has to have
EXPLICIT authority to the top directory (not through an authorization
list, or it fails...been there, done that...

you can act on IFS object authorities via the existing system
----
you can invoke a qshell command chmod on that file to 755 or 644
chmod 0644 /folder/myfile
chmod 0755 /folder/myfile
755: owner can do all, group/others can read/exec
644: owner can read/write, group/others can read only
----
or CHGAUT OBJ('/folder/file') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RX)
Essentially does the same thing as chgmod
