FairCom RTG has extensive file ownership and access controls. Administrators can assign read, write, delete, and definition change access controls per file. In addition, c-tree supports inheritable user, group and world access permissions (similar to Unix filesystem permissions.) By combining operating system permissions, c-tree access permissions, and file access rights, FairCom RTG becomes a highly secure data access layer.
Previously, FairCom RTG-created files lacked ownership attributes. Now, FairCom RTG can be configured, per file, with an explicit file ownership allowing for advanced administrative file access controls. File ownership is displayed by administrator tools such as ctadmn. For backward compatibility file permissions are set to allow access to everybody.
