How to control access rights for LFC/SRM files

Storing files on the grid is one thing. Controlling access to these files is a different matter. These pages are the result of an ongoing investigation on how to control access rights for different storage systems (currently: dCache and DPM), as well as the way files are stored and accessed on the Local File Catalog (LFC).

Before we start: it is assumed that you already have generated a valid VOMS proxy prior to attempting any of these commands. It is also assumed that you have access rights to the storage systems used below.

All of the sample output below was generated using a pvier proxy, unless noted otherwise.

• Access control for dCache storage elements
• Access control for DPM storage elements
• Access control for the LFC
