Restricting Access to a Directory

You can allow users in a group to read or run applications in directories, and the subdirectories and files, that are controlled by an owner of the group. For example, a project manager might update status information for a project team to review.

To Restrict Access to Directories

Using the steps described for setting access control for a server instance (see Setting Access Control for a Server Instance), do the following:

1. Access the Server Manager for the server instance.

2. On the Preferences tab, click the Administer Access Control link.

3. Select the desired resource from the drop-down list and click Edit.

4. Create a rule with the default values that deny access to everyone from everywhere.

5. Create another rule allowing users in a specific group to have read and execute rights only.

6. Create a third rule to allow a specific user to have all rights.

7. Deselect Continue for the last two rules.

8. Click Submit to save your changes.
