Other Yes, if the depot is a new one and you passed check
#1 above or if the ACL for an existing depot grants
you write permission, i.e. permission to
write/change the contents of the depot (same as #2
above).
If you are denied authorization to change an
existing depot, and if the PSF specifies some
depot-level attributes, then swpackage produces a
warning message and does not change the depot
attributes.
ACL Creation
When swpackage creates a new depot or a new product, it also creates an
ACL for it:
New depot swpackage creates an ACL for the depot and a
template ACL for all the products that will be packaged
into it.
The depot ACL is generated from the host’s
global_soc_template ACL (that is, the template ACL
established for new depots and new root file systems).
The depot’s product_template ACL is generated from
the host’s global_product_template ACL (that is, the
host’s template ACL for new products).
The user running swpackage is established as the
owner of the new depot and is granted permissions as
defined in the depot ACL (which come from the
global_soc_template).
New product swpackage creates an ACL for the product; the ACL is
generated from the depot’s product_template ACL.
ACL creation can be disabled by setting the
create_target_acls command to false.
When no ACL exists for a depot, only the superuser can
create new products or add/modify depot attributes.
When no ACL exists for a product, only the superuser
can modify it.
