Grant authority to an instance

To grant authority to objects and directories in an instance, run the grtwasaut 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 /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/edition/bin

   where edition is Base for WebSphere Application Server and ND for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

3. Run the grtwasaut script:

   grtwasaut -instance instance [ -user usrprf | -authlist authlist ]
    -dtaaut dataAuth -objaut objAuth

   where instance is the instance to which you are granting authority, usrprf is the user profile to which you are granting authority, authlist is the authorization list to which you are granting authority, dataAuth specifies the data authorities that you are granting to the user specified by the -user parameter and objAuth specifies the object authorities that you are granting to the user specified by the -user parameter. You do not need to specify both the -user and -authlist parameters, but specify at least one of them. For more information on the grtwasaut script and additional parameters, see The grtwasaut script.

Examples

In this example, the user profiles johndoe and jsmith are granted rwx authority to the instance devinst and the associated objects.

grtwasaut -instance devinst -user "johndoe jsmith" -dtaaut rwx -recursive

In this example, the user profiles johndoe and jsmith are granted rwx authority to the installedApps subdirectory and all nested objects in the installedApps subdirectory.

grtwasaut -instance devinst -object installedApps -user "johndoe jsmith" -dtaaut rwx -recursive
