Helpful TurboIMAGE/XL Information
Remember the following TurboIMAGE/XL characteristics when making changes
to the database security:
* A password is associated with a user class number from 1 to 63 in
the schema. This number is used in the schema read/write lists to
define data item and data set access for the password.
* A password must be from 1 to 8 ASCII characters, excluding
carriage returns, slashes, semicolons, and blanks. Passwords,
unlike other TurboIMAGE/XL elements, are case sensitive. This
means that the password ship-rec is not the same as the password
SHIP-REC.
* The user class number and the password must be unique for the
database.
* If a user does not enter a password or enters an invalid password,
TurboIMAGE/XL assigns user class 0. By default, user class 0 is
assigned read-only access to any data items or data sets that do
not have specific read/write lists.
* If write access is assigned, read access is assumed. This is true
for both data items and data sets.
* If write access is assigned to a data set, read and write access
is given to all items in the set. Data item security is not
checked.
* If read access is assigned to a data set, data item security is
checked to determine access to items in the set. If write access
is assigned at the item level, updates are allowed to the data
item. Otherwise, read access is granted.
* If the user class is omitted at the item level, no access is
allowed.
