DEC PATHWORKS: How to set access rights

Note: Access rights must be set under VMS by a Systems Administrator.

Time Line for Windows works very well under Digital Pathworks if Pathworks is providing "File Services", not "Disk Services". DEC's Pathworks for Ultrix currently only provides "Disk Services" and therefore will not run TLWIN.

After installing TLWIN on the network the System Manager/Administrator will set the access rights from VMS using the SET PROTECTION command.

The DEC rights needed for all files under the TLWIN directory (except the LANDIR subdirectory and it's files) are Read and Execute. The LANDIR subdirectory and its files need Read, Write, Execute and Delete. The users data files should be stored in their personal directory, which requires Read, Write, Execute, and Delete rights.

Example: From the TLWIN directory the System Manager would enter:

SET PROTECTION=(WORLD:RE) [...]*.*

this sets Read and Execute rights to everything in the TLWIN directory structure.

Then go to the LANDIR subdirectory and enter:

SET PROTECTION=(WORLD:RWDE) [...]*.*

this sets Read, Write, and Delete to everything in the LANDIR directory.
