SECURE
Secures data elements, files and groups to a security class.
Syntax
[option] SECURE subcommand
SEC
Use the SECURE command to either assign all of the data elements
associated with a file to one security class or to assign a group and all
its child groups to one security class. When using the SECURE command to
assign elements to a security class, you may also assign the file and all
its child files, if any, to that security class. Therefore, you can
avoid adding each individual data element, one at a time, to a security
class with the ADD CLASS command string. However, when using the SECURE
command to assign a group to a security class, no elements belonging to
the group or its child groups will be added to the security class.
After all data elements, files, or groups are secured to a designated
class, the security class and capability association can be selectively
changed for an element with the UPDATE command. Unwanted associations
can be selectively deleted with the DELETE command. If a data element
was already secured to a security class (with a previous SECURE command)
another SECURE command can be used to change the access capability
previously defined. The new SECURE command deletes the association made
earlier and creates a new association which may specify a different type
of access capability.
Subcommand
FILE secures all data elements in a file to a
security class and secures the file and its
child files to the security class
GROUP secures a group and its child groups to a
security class
