If you create an s-file without giving the -a option, the user list is left empty and all
users may access and edit the files. When you explicitly give a user name or names,
only those users can access the files.
Removing a User from a User List
You can remove a user or a group of users from the user list of a given s-file by using
the -e option of the admin command. The option is similar to the -a option but performs
the opposite operation. The command has the form
admin -ename s. filename
where -ename gives the login name of a user or the group name of a group of users to be
removed from the list, and s.filename is the name of the s-file from which the names
are to be removed. For example, the command
admin -ejohnd -emarketing s.demo.c
removes the user "johnd" and the group "marketing" from the user list of the s-file
s.demo.c.
Setting the Floor Flag
The floor flag, f, defines the release number of the lowest version a user may edit in a
given s-file. You can set the flag by using the -f option of the admin command. For
example, the command
admin -ff2 s.demo.c
sets the floor to release number 2. If you attempt to retrieve any versions with release
numbers less than 2, an error will result.
Setting the Ceiling Flag
The ceiling flag, c, defines the release number of the highest version a user may edit in
a given s-file. You can set the flag by using the -f option of the admin command. For
example, the command
admin -fcS s.demo.c
sets the ceiling to release number 5. If you attempt to retrieve any versions with
release numbers greater than 5, an error will result.
