protect

    protect -- Modify protections in the server namespace

    p4 protect
    p4 protect -o
    p4 protect -i

	'p4 protect' edits the protections table using an ASCII form.
	Once protections are in place, only a user with superuser access
	may use the 'p4 protect' command.

	Each line contains a protection mode, a group/user indicator, the
	group/user name, client host id and a depot file path pattern.
	A user gets the highest privilege granted on any line.

	Note: remote depot accesses are made using the pseudo-user 'remote';
	access by other servers can be controlled by granting appropriate
	permissions to the 'remote' user.

	     Mode:   The permission being granted.  Each permission includes
		     all the permissions above it, except for 'review'.

		     list   - users can see names but not contents of files;
			      users can see all non-file related metadata
			      (clients, users, changelists, jobs, etc.)

		     read   - users can sync, diff, and print files

		     open   - users can add, edit, delete, and integrate files

		     write  - users can submit open files

		     super  - allows access to the 'p4 protect' command

		     review - allows access to the p4 review command;
			      implies read access

	     Group/User indicator: either 'group' or 'user'.

	     Name:   A Perforce group or user name; may be wildcarded.

	     Host:   The IP address of a client host; may be wildcarded.

	     Path:   The part of the depot being granted access.

	The -o flag causes the protection table to be written
	to the standard output.  The user's editor is not invoked.

	The -i flag causes the protection table to be read from the
	standard input.  The user's editor is not invoked.
