Permission Requirements, by Command
Chapter 9300
Verify (swverify)
• If the object is a product on a depot, the target agent verifies that the
controller user has read permission on the target product.
• If the object is a product on a root, the target agent verifies that the
controller user has write permission on the target root (since scripts
are executed).
Registering Depots (swreg)
• To register a new depot, the target daemon verifies read permission
on the depot to be registered and insert permission on the host.
Changing ACLs (swacl)
• To change an ACL, write permission is required.
• To list an ACL, list permission is required.
Request Scripts (swask)
• To query a user and obtain installation information, interactive
control scripts are used.
Modify (swmodify)
• To change or add information to the Installed Products Database
(IPD) or depot catalog files, write permission is required.
