==== Security and permissions (OpenInsight Specific) ====

We understand that all files should be made to have full permissions, within the OI application directory.
This is very open to abuse, especially in sites such as universities etc.
Is there any way to allow OI to operate properly, AND have some basic security in place to stop people deleting, renaming, editing files etc.

Colin,
Couldn't you implement some sort of by-user rights on the directory. Depending on where your application was available from, you could have a special user, or you could add all of your OI users to a certain group, and give only that group access to the directory.
Probably not what you're looking for, but all I can think of.

Colin,
In addition to Matt's reply .. would it be possible for a 'propeller head' to write a routine which upon logging into OI would then instruct the 'server' to give rights to specific directories for login user?
I would think something like a group on the server with permissions for this kind of practice would be possible .. yes?

The ReadOnly flag in REVPARAM allows for ReadOnly files (NPP only). Depending on the nature of the application, you generally never delete files. Files will need read/write access for adding records.
The NLM and probably NT service allow more restrictive rights. On NLM, use the Revelation user and assign full rights to Revelation user. End user logon needs no rights. NT Service, it might be possible to do based on having the service log in under specific account. Sounds nice in theory, but never known it to be placed in practice.
