Options

set description description
Set the description field of the specified protected object.

A valid description is an alphanumeric string that is not case-sensitive. String values are expected to be characters that are part of the local code set. Spaces are allowed. If the description contains a space, enclose the description in double quotation marks. We can specify an empty string ("") to clear an existing description.

Example of description: "Travel Group aaa"

set ispolicyattachable {yes|no}
Set Whether the protected object can have an ACL, a POP, or an authorization rule attached or not. Valid values are yes or no.

set type type
