Retaining file attributes during archiving
When configuring the online archive driver, specify whether the driver retains the following general file and security information:
Time stamp
Owner
Permissions
Dependencies
If the online archive driver does not retain the permissions information for an archived file, the owner of the file has full access. If the driver retains security information, including owner and privilege information about an archived file, the driver performs the following functions:
The access control list (ACL) of the file refers to a user or role, and the driver attempts to match the reference to a name in the archive. When using an existing Encyclopedia volume user or role, the driver does not update the properties of the user or role with information from the original volume.
If the archive uses RSSE external registration for user and role information, the online archive driver uses the RSSE information to update the user and role privileges to access the file.
If the original owner of the file is not defined in the archive, the user named in the configuration file of the driver becomes the owner of the file when it is added to the archive.
If a user or role is in the original ACL, but not in the archive, they do not get privileges to access the file when it is added to the archive.
If the user or role is not present in the archive, the driver creates them, assigning the properties of the original user or role to them, except the driver does not enable login for a user or role it creates.
