PTS_SETFIELDS(1) AFS Command Reference PTS_SETFIELDS(1)NAMEpts_setfields - Sets privacy flags or quota for a Protection Database
entry
SYNOPSIS
pts setfields -nameorid <user or group name or id>+
[-access <set privacy flags>]
[-groupquota <set limit on group creation>]
[-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
[-force] [-help]
pts setf -na <user or group name or id>+
[-a <set privacy flags>]
[-g <set limit on group creation>] [-c <cell name>]
[-no] [-l] [-f] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The pts setfields command sets the group-creation quota, the privacy
flags, or both, associated with each user, machine, or group entry
specified by the -nameorid argument.
To examine the current quota and privacy flags, use the pts examine
command.
CAUTIONS
Changing a machine or group's group-creation quota is allowed, but not
recommended. The concept is meaningless for machines and groups,
because it is impossible to authenticate as a group or machine.
Similarly, some privacy flag settings do not have a sensible
interpretation. OPTIONS specifies the appropriate settings.
OPTIONS-nameorid <user or group name or id>+
Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the IP address
(complete or wildcard-style) of each machine, or the name or AFS
GID of each machine for which to set privacy flags or group-
creation quota. It is acceptable to mix users, machines, and groups
on the same command line, as well as names (IP addresses for
machines) and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to
indicate that it is negative.
-access <privacy flags>
Specifies the privacy flags to apply to each entry. Provide a
string of five characters, one for each of the permissions. If this
option is omitted, the current setting remains unchanged.
Set each flag to achieve the desired combination of permissions. If
the following list does not mention a certain setting, it is not
acceptable. For further discussion of the privacy flags, see
pts_examine(1).
· The first flag determines who can use the pts examine command
to display information from a user, machine or group's
Protection Database entry.
· Set it to lowercase "s" to permit the members of the
system:administrators group to display a user, machine, or
group entry, the associated user to display a user entry,
and the owner or members of a group to display the group
entry.
· Set it to uppercase "S" to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to display a user, machine,
or group entry.
· The second flag determines who can use the pts listowned
command to list the groups that a user or group owns.
· Set it to the hyphen ("-") to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and a user to list the groups
he or she owns, or to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and a group's owner to list the
groups that a group owns.
· Set it to uppercase letter "O" to permit anyone who can
access the cell's database server machines to list the
groups owned by a machine or group entry.
· The third flag determines who can use the pts membership
command to list the groups to which a user or machine belongs,
or the users and machines that belong to a group.
· Set it to the hyphen ("-") to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and a user to list the groups
he or she belongs to, to permit the members of the
system:administrators group to list the groups a machine
belongs to, or to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and a group's owner to list the
users and machines that belong to it.
· Set it to lowercase "m" to permit members of a group to
list the other members. (For user and machine entries, this
setting is equivalent to the hyphen.)
· Set it to uppercase "M" to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to list membership
information for a user, machine or group.
· The fourth flag determines who can use the pts adduser command
to add users and machines as members of a group. This flag has
no sensible interpretation for user and machine entries, but
must be set nonetheless, preferably to the hyphen.
· Set it to the hyphen ("-") to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and the owner of the group to
add members.
· Set it to lowercase "a" to permit members of a group to add
other members.
· Set it to uppercase "A" to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to add members to a group.
· The fifth flag determines who can use the pts removeuser
command to remove users and machines from membership in a
group. This flag has no sensible interpretation for user and
machine entries, but must be set nonetheless, preferably to the
hyphen.
· Set it to the hyphen ("-") to permit the members of the
system:administrators group and the owner of the group to
remove members.
· Set it to lowercase "r" to permit members of a group to
remove other members.
-groupquota <group creation quota>
Specifies the number of additional groups a user can create (it
does not matter how many he or she has created already). Do not
include this argument for a group or machine entry.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when
errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at
the first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell
or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more
details, see pts(1).
EXAMPLES
The following example changes the privacy flags on the group
"operators", retaining the default values of the first, second and
third flags, but setting the fourth and fifth flags to enable the
group's members to add and remove other members.
% pts setfields -nameorid operators -access S-Mar
The following example changes the privacy flags and sets group quota on
the user entry "admin". It retains the default values of the first,
fourth, and fifth flags, but sets the second and third flags, to enable
anyone to list the groups that "admin" owns and belongs to. Users
authenticated as "admin" can create an additional 50 groups.
% pts setfields -nameorid admin -access SOM-- -groupquota 50
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
To edit group entries or set the privacy flags on any type of entry,
the issuer must own the entry or belong to the system:administrators
group. To set group-creation quota on a user entry, the issuer must
belong to the system:administrators group.
