Authority Lists

Authority lists let you group commands that fit together functionally at your site and that you want to grant or restrict authorization to as a group of activities for several user IDs. LIST records that group commands use the following format:

LIST *listname authority authority authority ...

*listname

The name of the command authority list.

Authority authority authority

Each authority for a CA VM:Director command that you want to be on the list.

Note: You cannot include any command parameters or options in an authority list. Each authority represents all versions of a command, and can only be a single word.

Example:

Your publications managers must have the authority to use the ADMIN, EDIT, and QUERY commands. You can group these commands in a single list, named *PUBCMDS, by including this record in your AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

LIST *PUBCMDS ADMIN EDIT QUERY
