mainframe  +  952 Wed, 18 Jun 03 04:52 AM Which of these two sentences could best appear in my documentation: 1. We should limit update access to all system files to the System Programmers only. 2. We should limit update access on all system files to the System Programmers only. I'll appreciate if you could make any other corrections (I'm not a native English speaker). mainframe Joined on Wed, Jun 18 2003 New Member 09 Dates

	hitchhiker  +  956 Wed, 18 Jun 03 06:55 AM Hi mainframe, welcome to the forums! Access on, is generally how we phrase it. Both are fine, to feels technically less accurate though considering the actual process involved in rights management. Here are some suggestions: - It would be prudent to limit system file updates to the 'System Programmer' group only. - I suggest restricting update access on system files to within the 'System Programmer' group. - We should limit update access on all system files to the System Programmers group only. I prefer the second or third (yours - with group added) DOCUMENTATION SUCKS!

	hitchhiker  +  1019 Thu, 19 Jun 03 01:26 AM I don't understand, is this in networking / security or from a business viewpoint (ie not technically refering to a process of security access within a file system)? hitchhiker
