Setting up Security on the IFS for Import Export Capabilities

The functionality for Import/Export uses the root (/) file system on the IFS. JD Edwards World recommends that you restrict users to the /home folder or a sub-folder under /home to enable security over your IFS folders.  To access a folder, users must have *RX (read, execute) access to all folders in the directory path. In addition, you should set the properties to share each folder in the path. JD Edwards World recommends that you set the root (/) and /home folders for *PUBLIC to *RX access. Then, set up a sub-folder for each user under /home with full access (*RWX – read, write, execute) and exclude *PUBLIC.
