Group Access Checks

When group access checks are performed, CA Top Secret compares the GID of the file to the GID of the default group defined in DFLTGRP. If these do not match, CA Top Secret compares the file’s GID to the GIDs of all of the groups defined to the ACID in the GROUP field.

To add GIDs to the GROUP, enter:

TSS ADD(‘acidname’) GROUP(‘group name’)

If a match is found, CA Top Secret uses group permissions to determine the user’s access to the file.
