Integrated File System Introduction

Set up permissions to a file or folder

Adding permissions to an object allows you to control the ability of others to manipulate that object. With permissions, you can allow some users to only view objects, while allowing others to actually edit the objects.

To set permissions to a file or folder:

  1. Expand the system you want to use in the iSeries Navigator window .
  2. Expand File Systems.
  3. Expand Integrated File System. Continue to expand until the object for which you want to add permissions is visible.
  4. Right-click the object for which for you want to add permissions and select Permissions.
  5. Click Add on the Permissions dialog.
  6. Select one or more users and groups or enter the name of a user or group in the user or groups name field in the Add dialog.
  7. Click OK. This will add the users or groups to the top of the list.
  8. Click on the Details button to implement detailed permissions.
  9. Apply the desired permissions for the user by checking the box by the appropriate check box.
  10. Click OK.
