create useraccount

[Raj_58]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create an account with Read only access?

Thanks

There are limitations on what you can do to limit a user to read only.

You can set directory permissions for the user so that they are not writeable but they will still be able to cd to other world readable directories on an system (i.e. /tmp ).

You could change their default program to be a script that runs what you want them to look at instead of being a regular shell.

Not sure if there are other limitations that you can add from the Trusted product but others may know.

Best regards,

Oz

This is done with system permissions.

You make sure that other o in the concept of owner group other does not have write access to any files.

Then you useradd into a group you intend for read only access.
