swpackage checks and enforces the following permissions:
1. Can you create a new depot?
Superuser Yes
Other Yes, if the ACL for the local host grants the user
“insert” permission, i.e. permission to insert a new
depot into the host.
If the proper permissions are not in place and the
depot is a new one, swpackage terminates with an
error.
2. Can you create a new product?
Superuser Yes
Other Yes, if the depot is new and you passed check #1
above or if the ACL for an existing depot grants you
insert permission, i.e. permission to change the
contents of the depot (by adding a new product).
If you are denied authorization to create a new
product, swpackage generates an error message
and excludes the product from the session.
3. Can you modify an existing product?
Superuser Yes
Other Yes, if the ACL for the existing product grants you
write permission, i.e. permission to
overwrite/change the contents of the product. If you
are denied authorization to change an existing
product, swpackage generates an error message
and excludes the product from the session.
If you are denied insert and write permission for all
selected products, swpackage terminates with an
error.
4. Can you change the depot-level attributes?
Superuser Yes
