The Safeguard Subsystem and Standard Security
Similarly, to achieve the extra control over object-access authorization, objects must
first be given Safeguard protection. For example, until a disk file is added to the
Safeguard database, the Guardian disk-file security mechanism remains in effect. For
your convenience,
Appendix A, Guardian File Security
Guardian security for your disk files.
Because the Safeguard subsystem works with the security of the Guardian
environment, you have complete and selective control over the level of file security. For
example, you can place a single disk file under Safeguard control and leave the rest of
your database and program files under Guardian security. At the other extreme, you
can place every database and program file under Safeguard protection.
