Rose, setacl can still be used ...but these days the commands protect and unprotect are usually used. You can use the environment file itself. Make sure entries are after the chng_env entry in the file. Remember prortections are like light switches , whatever is turned on/off by the previous environment, must be changed by the next environment or it stays enforced. So, a typical scenario is to either protect or unprotect all, then apply the env specific protections. Also, there are 2 locations that FoxView looks for environments. /opt/fox/env /opt/customer/env FoxView will look in /opt/customer/env first to find an emtry. If none found for that env...it then goes to /opt/fox/env. The same holds true for the .MBR .BDR etc for all environments. example below. dmcmd nolog_script dmcmd passwd dmcmd chng_env protect all unprotect value 0-5,8-12 $ENV_DIR/Process_Eng.acl $ENV_DIR/Process_Eng.dbr $ENV_DIR/Process_Eng.mbr $ENV_DIR/Process_Eng.dms > -----Original Message----- > From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Rosalind Adams > <rosalind_adams@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 9:51 PM > To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [foxboro] setting access levels in environments > > Hello, > > Can someone please help me; I haven't done this in ages. > > I have AW70 with FV and 6.2.1 and I am trying to set access levels for > some environments.
