=head1 NAME

pts setfields - Sets privacy flags or the group-creation quota for a Protection Database
entry.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

pts setfields -nameorid <I<user or group name or id>>+
[B<-access> <I<set privacy flags>>]
              [-groupquota <I<set limit on group creation>>]
              [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>]  [B<-noauth>]  [B<-force>]  [-help]

B<pts setf -na> <I<user or group name or id>>+  [-a <I<set privacy flags>>] 
[B<-g> <I<set limit on group creation>>]  [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] 
         [B<-no>]  [B<-f>]  [-h]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The pts setfields command sets the group-creation quota, the
privacy flags, or both, associated with each user, machine, or group entry
specified by the B<-nameorid> argument.

To examine the current quota and privacy flags, use the pts
examine command.

=head1 CAVEATS

Changing a machine or group's group-creation quota is allowed, but not
recommended. The concept is meaningless for machines and groups,
because it is impossible to authenticate as a group or machine.

Similarly, some privacy flag settings do not have a sensible
interpretation. The B<Arguments> section specifies the
appropriate settings.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item -nameorid

Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the IP address (complete or
wildcard-style) of each machine, or the name or AFS GID of each machine for
which to set privacy flags or group-creation quota. It is acceptable to
mix users, machines, and groups on the same command line, as well as names (IP
addresses for machines) and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a
hyphen to indicate that it is negative.

=item -access

Specifies the privacy flags to apply to each entry. Provide a
string of five characters, one for each of the permissions. If this
option is omitted, the current setting remains unchanged.

Set each flag to achieve the desired combination of permissions. If
the following list does not mention a certain setting, it is not
acceptable. For further discussion of the privacy flags, see the
B<pts examine> reference page. 

=over 4

=item *

The first flag determines who can use the pts examine command
to display information from a user, machine or group's Protection
Database entry. 


=over 4

=item *

Set it to lowercase s to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group to display a user, machine, or
group entry, and the associated user to display a user entry.


=item *

Set it to uppercase S to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to display a user, machine, or group
entry.


=back

=item *

The second flag determines who can use the pts listowned
command to list the groups that a user or group owns. 


=over 4

=item *

Set it to the hyphen (-) to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and a user to list the groups he
or she owns, or to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and a group's owner to list
the groups that a group owns.


=item *

Set it to uppercase letter O to permit anyone who can access
the cell's database server machines to list the groups owned by a machine
or group entry.


=back

=item *

The third flag determines who can use the pts membership
command to list the groups to which a user or machine belongs, or the users
and machines that belong to a group. 


=over 4

=item *

Set it to the hyphen (-) to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and a user to list the groups he
or she belongs to, to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group to list the groups a machine
belongs to, or to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and a group's owner to list
the users and machines that belong to it.


=item *

Set it to lowercase m to permit members of a group to list the
other members. (For user and machine entries, this setting is
equivalent to the hyphen.)


=item *

Set it to uppercase M to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to list membership information for a
user, machine or group.


=back

=item *

The fourth flag determines who can use the pts adduser command
to add users and machines as members of a group. This flag has no
sensible interpretation for user and machine entries, but must be set
nonetheless, preferably to the hyphen. 


=over 4

=item *

Set it to the hyphen (-) to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and the owner of the group to add
members.


=item *

Set it to lowercase a to permit members of a group to add other
members.


=item *

Set it to uppercase A to permit anyone who can access the
cell's database server machines to add members to a group.


=back

=item *

The fifth flag determines who can use the pts removeuser
command to remove users and machines from membership in a group. This
flag has no sensible interpretation for user and machine entries, but must be
set nonetheless, preferably to the hyphen. 


=over 4

=item *

Set it to the hyphen (-) to permit the members of the
B<system:administrators> group and the owner of the group to
remove members.


=item *

Set it to lowercase r to permit members of a group to remove
other members.


=back

=back

=item -groupquota

Specifies the number of additional groups a user can create (it does not
matter how many he or she has created already). Do not include this
argument for a group or machine entry.

=item -cell

Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
the introductory B<pts> reference page.

=item -noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
issuer. For more details, see the introductory B<pts> reference
page.

=item -force

Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors
or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first
error.

=item -help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

The following example changes the privacy flags on the group
B<operators>, retaining the default values of the first, second and
third flags, but setting the fourth and fifth flags to enable the group's
members to add and remove other members.

   % pts setfields -nameorid operators -access S-Mar

The following example changes the privacy flags and sets group quota on the
user entry B<admin>. It retains the default values of the
first, fourth, and fifth flags, but sets the second and third flags, to enable
anyone to list the groups that B<admin> owns and belongs to.
Users authenticated as B<admin> can create an additional 50
groups.

   % pts setfields -nameorid admin -access SOM-- -groupquota 50

=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

To edit group entries or set the privacy flags on any type of entry, the
issuer must own the entry or belong to the
B<system:administrators> group. To set group-creation
quota on a user entry, the issuer must belong to the
B<system:administrators> group.
