The rvkwasaut script

The rvkwasaut script revokes user authority to an instance and the objects associated with it. For usage instructions and examples, see Revoke authority to an instance.

Product

The rvkwasaut script is available in WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Authority

To run this script, your user profile must have *ALLOBJ authority.

Syntax

The syntax of the script is:

rvkwasaut [ -instance instance ] [ -user usrprf | -authlist none ]
 [ -object path ] [ -recursive ] [ -verbose ] [ -help ]

Parameters

The parameters of the script are:

• -instance
  Optional. The value instance specifies the name of the instance to which you are revoking authority. The default value is default.

• -user
  The value usrprf specifies the OS/400 user profile from which you are revoking authority. To revoke authority from multiple user profiles, specify all of the user profiles with a single -user parameter. Enclose the list of profiles in double quotation marks ("). For example, to revoke authority from usrprf1 and usrprf2, specify -user "usrprf1 usrprf2". You must specify -user, -authlist, or both.

• -authlist
  The value none specifies that the current authorization list associated with the object should be removed. If you use the -authlist parameter, specify the value none. You must specify either -user, -authlist, or both.

• -object
  Optional. The value path specifies the subdirectory or partially qualified object name to which you are revoking authority. The instance root is prepended to the value to get the fully-qualified path. If you do not specify this parameter, the default value is the instance root. To revoke authority to multiple objects, run the script for each object.

• -recursive
  This optional parameter specifies whether to revoke authority to all subdirectories. If you do not specify this parameter, authority is revoked only to the object specified with the -object parameter, or the instance root directory if the -object parameter is not specified. This parameter applies to all objects specified with -object parameters.

• -verbose
  This optional parameter turns on verbose messages, which can be helpful if you need to debug the script.

• -help
  This optional parameter displays the help message. If you specify this parameter, the script ignores all other parameters.
