Contains the group access control list (ACL) definitions for the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT). This system file only applies to AIX 4.2.1 and later.
The /etc/security/smitacl.group file contains the group ACL definitions for SMIT. This is an ASCII file that contains a stanza for each system group. Each stanza is identified by a group name followed by a : (colon) and contains attributes in the form Attribute=Value. Each attribute pair ends with a newline character as does each stanza.
The file supports a default stanza. If an attribute is not defined, either the default stanza or the default value for the attribute is used.
A stanza contains the following attribute:
screens | Describes the list of SMIT screens for this group. (It is of the
type SEC_LIST.) Examples include:
screens = * # Permit all screen access. screens = !* # Deny all screen access. screens = # Allows no specific screens # (screens can be added on a per user basis) screens = user,group,!tcpip # Allow user & group # screens, but not # tcpip screen |
For a typical stanza, see the "Examples" section.
Access Control: This file grants read and write access to the root user, and read access to members of the security group.
group: screens = *
default: screens = group: screens = mksysb
/etc/security/roles | Contains the list of valid roles. |
/etc/security/user.roles | Contains the list of roles for each user. |
/etc/security/smitacl.group | Contains the group ACL definitions. |
/etc/security/smitacl.user | Contains the user ACL definitions. |
