Sometimes other users need temporary access to your files. For example, individual members of a project team might keep their own records of the hours they worked on different aspects of the project. At the end of the month, the project manager compiles the individual reports into a team report. To compile the team report, the manager might copy the team members' time record files into a single file. To do so, the manager needs temporary access to the team members' time record files.
Give all users temporary access to a file by releasing that file. Releasing a file removes all access restrictions from it. Releasing and securing a file can be executed only by the creator of that file.
Release a file with the RELEASE command. For example:
RELEASE MYHOURS.SMITH.PROJECTX
|
The file remains released until it is secured with the SECURE command. For example:
SECURE MYHOURS.SMITH.PROJECTX
|
When default file access restrictions are in effect, general users can release and secure files only in their logon group and account.
