5.14 Administrator Group Privileges in Data Links on Windows NT

On Windows NT, the user dlmadmin has the same privileges with regard to files linked using DataLinks as a root user does on UNIX for most functions. The following table compares both.

Operation Unix (root) Windows NT (dlmadmin)
Rename Yes Yes
Access file without token Yes Yes
Delete Yes No (see note below)
Update Yes No (see note below)
Note:
The NTFS disallows these operations for a read-only file. The dlmadmin user can make these operations successful by enabling the write permission for the file.
