Revoke authority to a profile

To revoke authority to objects and directories in a profile, run the rvkwasaut script from the Qshell command line. To run the script, follow these steps:

1. On the OS/400 command line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.

2. On the Qshell command line, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the script:

   cd install_root/bin

   where install_root is /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base for WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Express, and /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/ND for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

3. Run the rvkwasaut script:

   rvkwasaut -profileName profile [ -user usrprf | -authlist authlist ]

   where profile is the profile to which you want are revoking authority, usrprf is the user profile from which you are revoking authority, and authlist is the authorization list from which you are revoking authority. You do not need to specify both the -user and -authlist parameters, but specify at least one of them. For more information on the rvkwasaut script and additional parameters, see The rvkwasaut script.

Examples

In this example, the user profile jsmith no longer has authority to the profile devinst.

rvkwasaut -profileName devinst -user jsmith -recursive

In this example, the user profile jsmith no longer has authority to the installedApps subdirectory and all nested objects in the installedApps subdirectory.

rvkwasaut -profileName devinst -object installedApps -user jsmith -recursive
