Usages

  1. opchmod permissions operator_pattern

Permissions specify the abilities of a node’s user and others to read, write, and/or execute an operator. “Write” permission is the ability to change parameter values. “Execute” permission is the ability to render.

The “user” is the account that created the operator. This is stored on a per-node basis.

Note

“Group” permissions are not implemented.

To query permissions, use opstat.
