NFA Security
When using NFA, by default all MPE file security is bypassed. If access to data needs to be
restricted, NBSECURE must be used to define security. Security for files is defined on the system
where the files reside.
NBSECURE is used for NetBase security maintenance. The security measures that NetBase has built
into it for remote files provides the Network Administrator/Systems Manager a facility for
controlling who has what type of access to files on each system. The NBSECURE program is the tool
used to define NetBase's network file security. By using this program, groups of users can have
access granted or restricted to any file or fileset.
