The Visual DCE ACL Editor makes it easy for you to set the permissions for all security-relevant objects within DCE, including Registry objects and CDS objects. It allows you to display, add, modify, copy, and remove ACL entries for a specific object in a cell's namespace. You can also go past junctions to application-specific namespaces and set permissions on the ACLs of application-specific objects.
Among the tasks you can perform using the ACL Editor are the following:
· View an object's ACL.
· Create, modify, and remove ACL entries (from your home cell and in other cells).
· Display the permissions implemented for an object's ACL by the object's application server.
· Ask about your access to an object.
· Ask about someone else's access to an object.
· Copy one ACL to another ACL.
· Create, modify, and remove masks used to restrict allowable permissions.
