NCLHELP.HLB  —  Network Management, Access Control, Rights Identifiers (OpenVMS)
    HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS uses VMS rights identifiers to
    perform access checks on all manageable entities.  This differs
    from the Phase IV software, which used VMS privileges for access to
    the permanent database and for write access. Read access to the
    volatile database in Phase IV was unprotected.

    The rights identifier NET$EXAMINE grants a user read access to the
    network configuration data. The NET$MANAGE rights identifier grants
    read and write access to the network configuration data, and
    NET$SECURITY grants ability to set default accounts. These rights
    allow the network manager to restrict access to network parameters.
    Access is granted to an individual user by means of the AUTHORIZE
    utility on OpenVMS.  The following command examples grant access:

       UAF> GRANT/ID NET$EXAMINE Joe
       ! Grant user JOE read access to local network data

       UAF> GRANT/ID NET$MANAGE  Joe
       ! Grant user JOE read/write access to local network data

       UAF> GRANT/ID NET$SECURITY Joe
       ! Grant user JOE ability to set default accounts

    In lieu of NET$MANAGE rights, the BYPASS privilege will grant
    read and write access.
