9-4 Sun MediaCenter Server Administrator’s Guide • December 1997
9.5 Title ACL
Each content title has an ACL which is accessible either programmatically through
the cmGetAcl() function or by the smc_gettacl utility. To create or modify
permissions, use the cmSetAcl() function or the smc_settacl command.
TABLE 9-3 shows the permissions that you can specify:
When you create a title (by using cmCreate() from the CM Client Lib API or by
using smc_copy, smc_tar, or ftp to move content onto a server), you, the creator,
have read, write, and admin permissions for that title. If no other restrictions are
imposed by the ServerAcl file, a user other than the title's creator cannot copy,
delete, or append to a title, unless the creator uses smc_settacl or cmSetAcl() to
open up access to the title.
9.6 Session ACL
A CM session is a logical relationship between the Sun MediaCenter server and
another machine used for copying, appending, and deleting titles and obtaining/
changing title ACLs.
Each CM session has an ACL associated with it.
